How Playing Basketball Changed My Life

Thank you for telling me not to give up, even if I feel that I have not left anything to keep on pressing. My body said I was too tired to continue practicing, but you taught me this when I was running a terrible 16 year old at the end of training.

Thank you for helping me understand the importance of being passionate about something. Because of my passion for games, I have set reasons and take positive steps to actually achieve my goals. Whether you can leave extra shots after practicing, shooting for hours in the rain (I live in Oregon), whether you can review the game and improve the game, all the necessary work is done It is to achieve personal goals.

Thank you for making me feel what success is and my efforts have made a fruit. There is no better feeling in the world than shooting in a big game or having the team win the buzzer.

Thank you for telling me how to be a good teammate. It is important to achieve your personal goals, but you say to me that the goal of the team is always more important and that you should keep my selfish tendencies aside. I understand that I should not base my performance on the absolute basis, but if my team is doing well, I will be happy.

Thank you for telling me the importance of competition. I am still competitive from time to time, but my desire to "win" will make me the best life in my career and daily life.

But thank you, tell me that victory is not everything. Sometimes it's about a journey than the final result I learned after I lost the title of the two states at high school. The two games did not define my experience as a basketball player. I am not going to give up on my memorial, my experience, and all my medals around the world that my teammates are laughing innumerable.

Most importantly, thanks for giving me the opportunity to meet a network of friends who became my second family later. Over the years I have a wide range of coaches and teammates. Their friendship and guidance is the greatest blessing brought by basketball.

I do not want to be able to eat three rows of Oreo after practice and not because I am really working hard, And to me to give me a huge beat headphones for a long trip Thank you for giving me reasons to buy a forum Forum to show off my dance moves as a ceremony before the game

I believe that basketball can change my life a lot; doing basketball is my favorite thing, bringing joy to my life and my family. I was not good at the whole school. I am not a wonderful student of A +, and I have nothing to do with my family until a major incident happens. When things go wrong, I always have basketball to motivate me always I was not the best student in high school. I was not thinking seriously about it, but when I formed a college basketball team, I quit it all. I do not want to disappoint my teammates and I want to get qualified to participate in that contest. My first grader can not join two games because my grades are bad. This is the worst feeling that I have ever had, and since then I will do my best to achieve good results. Thanks to basketball, I started to work hard at school and I was able to spend four years at high school. I would like to be a student athlete, but I'm not a girl who is good at basketball and can not play because of her grades.

My personal purpose story has changed over the years. When I was a child, I would like to join the school team as a freshman and get good grades. It will be a college basketball player (and poor grades), become a professional basketball player, and finally play at the NBA. But they are just big votes for that purpose. My purpose is the same for professional players up to about half. After some NBA failed, my purpose began to change. It is just specifying movement. I would like to help not only want to be a European MVP basketball player, but also my brothers and other young players to achieve their dreams. I want to give back teaching
