I play basketball for so many reasons. I love it for one, obviously. I love the sound it makes when you do that perfect swish, flicking your wrist to have the perfect form. The accomplishment of making a basket, but most of all, the sense of accomplishment. I feel great when I steal the ball or make that sweet shot.
I made my first shot of the season last night. I felt bad, we were playing kids younger than us, but no sweat, I played 3 quarters. I had fun and we were missing 3 players. I may not be the best player, but I still enjoy the game. I am a bench warmer with potential, I can bet you I will do something some day to prove my coach should have played me, he will regret that he ever misinterpreted my abilities. They will all see.
You may be asking, "How is she a bench warmer if she played 3 quarters?" Well when people aren't sick, I normally only play 1 minute a game, sometimes only 30 seconds. Thats all right, I'm happy to play and I absolutely love cheering on my team. I am kind of the brains of my team, if I can get on the court and see what the other team is doing wrong, I know how to work up a plan in the snap of a finger that will get us the ball.
I'd have to say as for my basketball career, it won't go far, but I love it anyways. Goal: Netted.
With Love,
Alex
