Basketball coaches

watch a game. Going to a game and having the opportunity of seeing it live. Soccer players doing bicycle kicks in midair, football players catching the football with one hand making it into a touchdown, baseball players hitting home runs, and basketball players dunking balls in the net in front of the face of their opponent. All these majestic, acrobatic maneuvers is what makes a sport so appealing to people and to all of the generations. Sports are able to cause a human being anger,…

Sport, position, and evaluation of the sport The athlete I have chosen for my program design is a 27 year old, male professional basketball player. The position I have chosen is a forward.

It is a full body sport. Some of the most seen actions include: elbow extension and flexion, knee flexion and extension,…

Basketball isn’t just a sport to me it’s my life. My dad was a coach of a boys team when I was first born, and my mom and I would always go to his games. In fact, his whole entire team signed a little plush basketball for me. I think that basketball is somewhere floating around my house still to this day. My dad, was the person to get me involved in basketball. I mean I was three, it’s not like I told him that I wanted to play basketball. Without him signing me up for the bitty ball league, I…

“Let’s go Sam! Speed it up!” my eighth-grade basketball coach barked at me impatiently. Honestly, I deserved it; I was slow. I had natural athletic ability—I come from a family of athletes—but it only goes so far when you’re carrying around a spare tire on your body. At thirteen, I was pretty fluffy/soft around the edges and had been since my sixth summer. As the family baby, I had stayed behind while my siblings left for camp, quickly replacing “playing up” with them and their friends with…
