Playing a sport has impacted my life immensely. Playing basketball has helped me develop a type of camaraderie that you can only experience by being on a team with people who care about you and you care about. The bond I have developed with my teammates is so strong and is not something that everyone gets to be a part of in their lives. Through the team, I have made lifelong friends who I would give the world for. On the court, sports impact you by teaching you responsibility as they definitely have done with me. The ideal that every person on the floor has to do a certain job and if one person slacks off, the whole team suffers the consequences is very effective on and off the court. This helps with certain daily tasks like in school when we are assigned a group project, every member is given a certain responsibility and they are expected to fulfill it to their best doing. If one person in the group does not do their assigned part, the whole group will suffer with a bad grade. Being a part of a sport team also brings a sense of accomplishment to my life. When my team wins a game, it makes everyone feel good and it lifts my spirits to excel in whatever I do, but one of the biggest character traits that I am most proud to have gained from playing basketball in high school is the sense to be able to push myself in anything that I decide to do. I believe that this is one of the greatest traits that any person can learn in their life because it can really be applied to anything and is just so effective. I have applied this trait in my everyday life especially in school when I don’t think that I can do something or work a problem, I just push myself because I know that if I push myself until the very end, I can get it. So, I have learned many life lessons from playing basketball in high school which I can apply to any area of my life for the rest of my
