Basketball

I love basketball. First of all, I love it because of the intensity and energy that come with the game. Second, I love basketball because it’s a game where you can always improve. If you couldn’t improve, then why would you play basketball? Another aspect of basketball that I love is the sound of a swished shot. I find it particularly satisfying.

Something that I need to work on is being more decisive. What I mean is, don’t stop and think about what you want to do. Just do it because if you stop and think, there is an almost 100% chance of a turnover.

Basketball matters to me so much because of the amount of time I spend playing it. I love it as a whole sport and feel like it is so fun to improve. Of course, when I lose in a game, I am usually down, but I always come right back at it. Like the first time my team got to the playoffs; we lost by a lot and I was extremely down. But I came back, and the next time I made the playoffs, we got to the championship match (and lost).

Now I hope you know how much Basketball means to me.
