One blistering summers’ day in Northwest Florida, home for college, Jay was cleaning out the garage. This was apart of his mother’s summer clean sweep project, which she did every year. Jay comes from a family who is very involved in sports. So as he was singing the childhood clean up and going through and sorting the football pads, softballs, baseball, batting and fielding gloves, sweet bands, and other athletic equipment and sports wear he came across a recognizable object. It was his old bat. The Bat he used in little league almost 10 years ago. This was the first bat that Jay ever had. As Jay held the dusty, paint chipped, dry-rotting but yet still majestic bat in his hands, fond memories of the typical day at the ballpark began to flood his mind.…

I have many hobbies, but I like basketball the most. Basketball is like my best friend. The first time I played it, I felt interested. I was so interested in playing basketball after watching my brother play, however, I started learning when I was 9 years old. So I kept doing it. Even if I didn't win, my coaches alway said "You can't win, unless you learn how to lose." When I was in 5th grade my brother inspired me to do that. I…
While I encourage most basketball players to go to college and advance their education to the next level, those special individuals whose athletic ability gives them the opportunity to provide for themselves and compete at the highest level should not be denied the opportunity based the current requirement that players must be 19 years old to play for the NBA. High school basketball players should be mature enough to make their own decisions about their career paths, so the NBA shouldn't deny them. Furthermore, other sports have employed teenagers for years with success.…

I love to play almost every sport there is. Out of all of them, my favorite sport has to basketball. I have played it all my life and plan on continuing to do so. I have played on many different teams, ranging from YMCA teams to playing on my middle school and high school team. The sport is thrilling and filled with action which is why I love playing it, and watching it on TV. The close games on TV are the best and it is even better when you have the opportunity to see those close games in person. Basketball is truly a lifestyle for…

I have always been an athletic person. As far back as I can remember, I have been involved in sports and I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have sports apart of my life. Sports have meant so much to me over my years of growing up. I was always encouraged to be a part of different types of athletic programs. Sports are not for everyone, but playing a sport is definitely beneficial for high school students.…
The day I was looking forward to had finally arrived: Basketball tryouts. I wasn’t the most talented, but I knew I could contribute to the team as a defensive stopper, using my size to my advantage. While the rest of the fellow middle schoolers struggled to hit layups and dribble the ball, I showed slightly more skill than everyone else. I made the B team that year as the team captain and leader. We didn’t win a game all season long, but that didn’t stop my love of the game; in fact, that is when it all began. I played every year up until my senior year, and now I’m the Varsity manager by my own power. Over the years, I found myself loving to play the game, but I now know my real calling card is to analyze the game.…
