The game took place on a cold‚ November afternoon in Gatlinburg‚ Tennessee. It was the last game of the tournament and we‚ the CBS Falcons‚ faced the Red Dogs in the championship game. We were confident about our chances of victory; however‚ our confidence was quickly put to the test when we first saw the other team. This game taught me never again to judge a book by its cover and that effort can trump skill. Undefeated in the regular season and on a role going into this Friday night game‚ we were

It was winter season and that meant basketball. This year was special because I got to play for Davidson Day’s seventh and eight-grade team. See at our school the middles school ran through 5th to 8th. The middle school basketball teams were divided into a 5th-6th-grade team and a 7th 8th grade team. This season was different; we would play more games and different teams. Also we got a new coach and older teammates. Tryouts were rough; the older kids were picking on the 7th graders constantly

Like Yusuke Mahiro Fukushima PD4-5 “Do you want to play basketball?” That was a question that changed me. Since that day‚ I’ve been playing ball for 5 years. I sometimes wonder‚ “What would I be doing right now if I didn’t start playing this sport?” I remember the first day I met someone that played basketball‚ and was interested. I was in second grade‚ in Japan. I didn’t play any sports. I wasn’t athletic or tall. I had been thinking about playing a sport‚ but the decisions were between soccer and

The past weekend was something of the unexpected. I thought I was going to be just doing something normal with my friends but it was not. One of my close friends coaches a seventh grade basketball team. They play in a private league and I was invited to come watch them this past Sunday. I went to just relax and talk to some friends who were also invited. Before arriving to the game I thought I would be more focused on what my friend would be doing as a coach. I was completely wrong. While I was at

One accomplishment in my life that will have an impact on my college experience is when I won the championship while I was coaching my first year of basketball. I was quite reluctant to volunteer to coach basketball with my friend at first.I never was too vocal and I thought that I lacked the fundamentals when I played just two years ago.My course load that semester was rather large and I had no clue how I went upon coaching. Although my doubts‚ I signed up to coach that season. As I progressed

has improved since Late September‚ however it has not improved to the point that I wanted it to be before basketball. I have somewhat followed my goal of trying to run at the track‚ but I have been unable to run or workout 4-6 times a week. From where I was at on September 30th I have improved and compared to this time last year I am in much better shape than I was at the start of basketball season last year. One reason why I may have not reach this goal was setting the bar slightly too high. Instead

FIrst Time ever playing basketball My first time playing basketball was kind of scary because i thought i sucked at basketball‚ but i wasn’t going to be bad at all my coach said. He actually said i would be pretty good. My first game was a different story i had to face some 6 foot giant in the paint. We were all in 5th grade i don’t know what they were feeding that kid. He was eating little kids or something. Then‚ next practice we basically ran all practice because that guy got the ball every

My First High School Basketball Game I believe playing a sport that you love is fun‚ but at the same time winning is more fun. For me I figured this out when I was ten years old. I was playing a pickup game at the RAC and my brother hit the game winning shot. I was so happy because I gave him the assists. Then it came to me like I bolt of lightning that playing basketball is fun when you win. Ever since that moment it helped me perform to my full potential. It was cold snowy Saturday morning

A gorgeous example of denial is the story about a little girl who was notified that a little brother was on the way. My reflexive essay is about my brothers. Growing up without little siblings is great. There are no worries about sharing or fighting. I loved being an only child. Then my first little brother came along. Justin. At first I hated having a little brother. I hated that no one paid attention to me anymore. Then I guess I got over it. Matthew came along shortly afterwards‚ and it just wasn’t

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
