My Love For Basketball
When I was born, I was the youngest one in my family. I come from a family of 4 people. I am happy to have a family that is so supported to me and everything I do and now today I see myself as a good person. I like to see myself as dedicated to basketball, a great student, and a person people can rely on.
I love the sport of basketball. It is my favorite sport and I love the sport so much that I dedicated my life to the sport so much because I want to try to go to college for it. When I play AAU basketball, I love meeting new and different people all the time. The game of basketball is fun and it relaxes me. My main goal is to go to a big college for basketball and on a full ride scholarship.
School work has a lot to do with basketball.

    Cynthia Cooper "She Got Game: My Personal Odyssey" summary and how it affects your life

    I have been playing basketball basically my whole life, it is has shaped me into the person I am today. I started with just a ball and a hoop in my cousins front yard. I would just chuck the ball at hoop for fun, horsing around with my cousins. In elementary and middle school I would play with my friends at recess shooting around, dribbling in circles for the fun of it. I was even better then most of the boys who would play with my group on the courts. When I entered high school that was when I realized I was truly in love with the game. High school was where it was taken to a whole 'nother level. I was introduced to the real dynamics of the sport, it was where I learned that if I really want to do something that I love I had to put my all into it. I had to prove that I was one-hundred percent committed to the game. Practicing everyday for two hours, and…

    Men's College Basketball – Moulder

    a. Playing men’s basketball in college was a wonderful opportunity for me on several levels. It provided an opportunity that pushed me to work harder than I have ever worked before and it challenged me, mentally and physically. Playing college basketball taught me how to work hard, even when the results may not be immediate, or visible, right away. From this experience, I learned how to compete on the daily basis, while at the same time working together with my team to push each other to become better as a unit.…

    Love and Basketball

    Watching movies is a great way to learn and study different interpersonal relationships. A lot of them are just like real life situations that happen every day between people. One of my favorite movies is Love and Basketball. I chose to talk about this movie because in my opinion it really focuses on the relationship of the two main characters. There are good moments and bad ones in their relationship with one another. I also believe there are a lot of different things the characters could have done and said that would have made communicating with each other a lot easier. It’s one of my favorite movies and I have learned a lot about communicating from it.…

    How Basketball Changed My Life

    All my life I have excelled at 2 sports, basketball and soccer. I have always put basketball on a pedestal above soccer, both because of my talent for the sport, and because I enjoyed playing it more. I never truly realized the potential I had until 9th grade, I loved my coach and my coach seemed to really believe in me as a player and a person. He seemed to think the sky was the limit for me, and he had me believing in myself as well. Before I knew it the season had flown by, and I had led my team scoring that year, as a freshman! My dream of playing college basketball had never been stronger and I had the determination to make that dream come true.…

    Basketball: High School and Communication Skills

    Being part of the basketball clique in high school helped me learn the intrapersonal and social communication skills I use today. As a child playing basketball was my favorite activity or hobby. It's also the way I met a lot of my good friends that I have now. All my close friends I have met. I have met them through playing basketball. Whether they were on my team, the opposing team or just fans in the crowd who admired my play. Not only has basketball helped me gain friends, but basketball also taught me a lot about life. There are many aspects of life that coincide with basketball. For instance basketball is a team game and an individual game. Like in life you have to work together with other people. The communication skills I learned from basketball helped me communicate with friends, girlfriends, parents and bosses at work. I started playing basketball in the ninth grade. In the ninth grade I was a quiet and shy little boy. I rarely talked to my teammates and kept to myself. As the years went by I learned how to communicate with my teammates and my coaches and began to break out of my shell so to speak. In 11th grade I made the Long Island top 40 team. In the All-Star game I was named most valuable player scoring 15 points. AAU became a tremendous part of my life. I traveled to several states and began to train with one of the best trainers on Long Island, Jerry Powell. I started making more and more friends while playing AAU basketball. Basketball helped me meet a lot of new people. Without basketball in my life I don't know what I would do, growing up in a tough neighborhood in New York. My journey began in ninth grade. I remember my first day of basketball tryouts like it was yesterday. Fearful anxiety coursed through my blood stream as my pounding heart beat like a drum through my chest. Tireless sweat and preparation leading only to self doubt. I would not make it, I could not make it, and I had no right! I felt slow and unable to stand up my feeble body…
