Why Basketball Is Important To Me

In the past, two or three years something that I took great pleasure in working on, other than school, is basketball. This sport is very important to me because basketball is something that is overlooked but it requires a lot of discipline, which helps me to train myself to stay in shape and to create a better wellbeing of myself. I do not practice to prove myself to anyone, I just know basketball is a sport that has stuck with me for a long time, and it is a sport that I never want to give up on. Every day for the past 4 years after school, I would come home complete my homework and then run to work on stamina. While working on my stamina I would stamina, there were a lot of times where I would just feel like giving up; however,
For example, I would study people like Mayweather, LeBron James, Serena Williams, and Kobe Bryant.
Last, I would work on dribbling or shooting. I still continued to do almost every dribbling drill or shooting drill that I had seen a pro do. Sometimes, I would lose track of time and get lost in the moment of dribbling and practicing on my shot. The more time I lost, I felt as if I was getting better each time. The whole point of doing this everyday was to practice the stuff I am not good at. Once I got good at one thing I would start on another thing I could not do and I would better myself by practicing again until I lost track of time. I believe that I am a determined, hard-working, go getting type of individual. I believe that anything is possible for me to accomplish, if I put my mind to it. Attending college for me would be just like another drill that I would stumble at first at with challenges being thrown at me, but I would be able to bounce back and keeping trying at. I feel furthering my education is really important to me and also furthering my skills in basketball; for which is going to benefit me in the long
