Do you ever get the feeling where your in a situation the clock is winding down to zero and you have the ball, take a shot and it goes in? The feeling when you get the finish shot all the cheers from the crowd applauding you. Basketball played important role in my life that made me improve my mindset, health and stress reliever. I started to enjoy playing basketball when I was nine years old playing with my friends at school. Making my first basketball made me realize how basketball is awesome and the feeling of excitement running down my body. As years gone by I began playing basketball everyday and improving my dribbling and shooting skills. When I turned fourteen years old I decide to tryout for the varsity basketball team and I made it. My first day of practice I thought to myself I trained my body to handle any hard exercise but I was wrong. First our coach made us run for 2 miles and did suicide drills till the point where I was throwing up and thought I was dying due to dehydration.
After 4 months of practicing my body got used to the harsh drills. All the hard drills made our body and stamina stronger that we could play for a long time. Stepping in the court and seeing the crowds around me made nervous to the point where I thought to myself “what if I make a mistake or miss a shot” all the negative thought running to my mind. I gather up my strength to overcome my nervousness and started to play my first game. After I graduated my passion for basketball didn’t end here.

As I enter my first year as a college student I didn’t have much time playing basketball due to schoolwork overwhelming my time. Playing basketball helps me be healthy and prevent injuries.
