up into huge puddles of tears buried in my pillow‚ asking myself why didn’t they pick me ? "why aren’t I good enough ?!". Making the school Basketball team is something that was a very huge goal for me at the start of every school year‚ and a motive at the start of every summer.Till this day I haven’t made neither my middle school nor high school Basketball team‚ I’ve only came very close. My freshman year of high school is where it hurt the most. I had finally started to get a

My Hockey Adventures As winter approached‚ my parents constantly bothered me about choosing a winter sport. Because I was only in the sixth grade‚ my options for sports within the middle school were basketball‚ dance‚ or cheerleading. Luckily‚ I thought outside of the box and suggested hockey to my parents‚ even though my school did not have a team. A couple of my friends who played for the Mandan Hockey Club had helped me convince my parents to let me give it a try. The next week I was already

I joined MYB in 5th grade. I wanted more of a competition league after coming from Upward basketball. The first year my team was horrible and everyone went their separate ways after the season. I joined Dave Buffenbarger’s team the following year hoping for a better outcome. A lot of the girls on that team were some of my close friends‚ and some were not. This was not a problem as we quickly became close. MYB gave me the chance to make new friends through their league and become even closer with

For as long as I remember‚ I have been raised with a basketball hoop. This hoop stood firmly‚ looking down at the trees secured by patches of cement in my backyard‚ in my neighborhood‚ Dorchester. This hoop was my center of faith and tranquility surrounded by gunfires‚ shattering windows‚ car alarms. As a girl‚ I learned not to adventure any place else other than this hoop because going beyond its faded lines on the concrete is an unknown world full of hazards and danger. And when I did cross these

It was her very first basketball game. Chase came with me to‚ my older brother‚ Nate’s basketball game. We arrived just as the Chelsea Hornets were getting ready. The warmth of the gym wrapped around our bodies‚ and the scent of teenage boy sweat filled our nostrils‚ making me almost retch. Chase sounded very excited when she asked me‚ “Where should we sit?” As any normal little girl would do‚ we both raced each other to the top of the blue high school bleachers and sat down in sync. My mom‚ little

Basketball is probably my favorite sport to be in. This is not because of the actual game as much as being part of a team so close‚ we were almost like brothers. I had originally joined basketball in 6th grade to make friends and have fun. That is what it was like during that grade. When 7th grade rolled along‚ the 7th and 8th grade is one team and we would go to each other’s games‚ things started to get serious. We loved our coach‚ he pushed us hard to be good players but at the end of the day‚

Two months after I get my driver’s license‚ I get my very first speeding ticket. What a great way to start out driving‚ right? Well my parents didn’t think so. So‚ I’m driving home from school on this I guess you could call it a “hilly” road where the bumps are fun to ride over when speeding. It was all fun and games until I spot the cop parked at the end of the street just watching me. There was no use in slowing down. I knew he’d already clocked me at 50 in a 25. There wasn’t anyone on the road

Mitsu entered the basketball gym‚ watching as the players played scrimmage games against their teammates. She listened to the screeching of the shoes on the court and bouncing of the balls. Mitsu always loved the how the gym sounded when the team was in here practicing. She walked through the sidelines of the courts‚ she made her way to her usual spot on the bench. Mitsu watched Kasamatsu as he practiced‚ moving swiftly with the ball‚ making his 3 point shots‚ blocking people as they tried to get

What do you think when it comes to basketball? Is it safe? There are certain guidelines you should follow in order to be safe in basketball games‚ and practices. Trust me. I’ve had plenty of experiences. Being safe on the court means having awareness. There is a long standing belief that basketball is not a contact sport. Basketball is CLEARLY a contact sport‚ especially when rebounding the ball. You must learn how to be physical and aggressive without committing a foul. You can only get five fouls

the sports that I could‚ football‚ basketball‚ and baseball. Now I only do football‚ basketball‚ and track. I like baseball‚ I’m just not good at it. Fielding‚ throwing‚ and catching I can do‚ I just can’t hit‚ and I don’t want to be the one to get out when I have enough power to drill it out to center field‚ and then see the disappointment on my teammates faces. The only reason that I play football is that I get to hit people and I like the sport. I play basketball to stay in shape for football. Same
