I would have more time for homework, since college classes had become part of my schedule, I could get a job and make money, and if I wanted I could help out with the boys basketball team. When I say I despised basketball it seems more extreme than it really was, I actually enjoyed some of it. For example, bus rides with my friends and classmates, developing relationships with my coaches, and being…

No not really, when I was growing up my brothers played basketball and my mom loved basketball so I was always brought up in a basketball family, I never really played any other sports. Since I was young I was always either one of the tallest…

leagues. The NCAA considers itself as a non-profit organization, yet the company runs very similar to a business. The NCAA has reportedly generated “over $11 billion in annual revenues” (Benedykciuk 2).

Basketball lasted through middle and high school, but nevertheless, I learned quickly that college basketball was not my next step. Joy and happiness carried my teammates and I through every season, although the yelling would start when laughing was the only activity at practice. Even though the cheerleaders’ voices at Goose Creek High School filled the gym, however, my teammates and I filled the gym and the lobby. The game of basketball is mesmerizing because it keeps everybody on the edge of…

who boost self esteem instead of lowering it. Most coaches only want to win, but Dale wants to see the best of his players which you can see when he says “to be the best that you can be, I don’t care what scoreboard says at the end of game, in my book we’re gonna be winners.” The job of a coach cannot be an easy one, they have to fully give themselves to the team. Coaches are on the road two or three nights of the week, especially basketball coaches. There is a strong belief throughout the…

Who Inspires You? Many different people have favorite sports like baseball, football, basketball, soccer, etc. and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. My favorite sport is basketball and the person that inspires me to do my best on and off the court is the best of all time Michael Jordan.

trying to be the best. Basketball is a prioritized sport in my family. I always knew that when I hit junior high it would be time to fulfill my family’s prophecy of joining a basketball team. I was not too thrilled with the thought at first. I decided to talk to some of my friends to get their view on it. Most of their responses were negative.
