Examples Of Basketball Beliefs
Basketball Belief
It was six o'clock in the morning and Kyle woke up from a dream of him being a big time basketball player in the NBA. Kyle is a very big, heavy footed kid that loves to play basketball. Though he is horrible at basketball and he knows it, he still wants to play the game. Kyle put on his shoes and went outside to shoot some hoops. Then he decided to go to the gym instead of his court at home. At the gym he saw a flier posted on the wall and it said “Private Basketball lessons with Coach N.” Kyle took one of the fliers and ran home with it and showed it to his mom. His Mom and Dad knew how much he loved basketball and was willing to let him have a try at it. Kyle sat down on the couch while his Mom called Coach N. Kyle was …show more content…
so excited to hear what was going to happen, but then Kyle's Mom went into the back room and locked the door. His Mom finally came out she said that he has a lesson in 10 min. Kyle grabbed his basketball stuff and ran to the gym to meet up with Coach N. Coach N. is already there and Kyle goes over and shakes his hand.
“Already warmed up?” Coach N. said,
“Yea!” said Kyle.
“Well grab a ball and shoot 10 free throws while I set up the cones!” Coach N said,
Kyle went and grabbed a ball and shot 10 free throws and missed 7 of them. He then jogged over to Coach N.
“How many did you miss?” Asked Coach N.
“7” said Kyle
“Give me 7 laps around the Gym,” said Coach N.
Kyle started his laps and at the end of those laps he thought that he was going to die.
“Grab a ball and weave through the cones and every time you lose that ball you owe me a push up!” said Coach N. Kyle lost the ball 20 times so he did his pushups and went through a series of drills. At the end of the workout Kyle was covered in sweat and super tired.
“ Again tomorrow?” asked Coach N,
“Definitely!” said Kyle. Months went on and Kyle got better and better at basketball. Kyle was going into 9th grade basketball and found out that with all of the work that he put in he was still only starting B team. Kyle was very frustrated and went and complained to Coach N.
“It’s alright, by the end of the season you will be better then all of them!” It was true, Kyle went on through High School and played Starting Varsity for every game and averaged a score of 35 points per game.
It has been 5 years and he is still practicing with Coach N. every 3 days. Kyle loved Coach N, he grew with him and he learned from him and Coach N helped him through all the tough times of wanting to quit the game. Kyle ended up getting a scholarship for playing basketball at K-State and then he ended up being one of the best college players in the U.S.A. When he finished College he went on to play for the Golden State Warriors and Coach N ended up being the assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors. Kyle ended up being a millionaire just for playing the game that he loved and he could not have done it without Coach N.
Two Years Later
Kyle was sitting in a coffee shop with his wife and kids and he got a phone call. It was the Hospital and Coach N had been in a car accident and he was in critical condition. Kyle grabbed his family and went out to their Cadillac Escalade and hauled butt to the hospital. When they got their Kyle ran into the hospital and asked to see …show more content…
him.
“Name?” Said the front desk person,
“Kyle Lee” Kyle said,
“Report to room 102 as fast as you can, he is waiting for you.” Kyle walked quickly to room 102 and opened the door and there sat his reason he had made it as far in life as he did.
Kyle walked over and he sat down next to him.
“You have mentored my ever since I was in 5th grade. It is now my turn to mentor you through your battle to be able to walk again and coach me some more.” Kyle said.
