Basketball court

as motivation and a learning experience to help me return to the game of basketball stronger and better than ever, this is my scar story. My story began last year in march it was the very first game of basketball for the season and for me it was just another ordinary routine game of basketball, I taped my ankles like normal, warmed up like normal and played like normal little did I know that this ordinary game or basketball would change my outlook and values in life so dramatically. It was the…

The game of basketball would not be around today if it wasn’t for one man, his name was James Naismith. James was born on November 6, 1861 in Ontario, Canada. He was born to the parents of John and Margaret Naismith. When James was only nine years old both of his parents had died, leaving James an orphan. This was a very rough time in James’ life. After becoming an orphan, he was raised by his very strict grandmother for a little bit, and then his bachelor uncle. While growing up James enjoyed…

How long have you been playing basketball? I’ve been playing basketball since as long as I’ve known it, since I was a young kid about six years old. When did you realize that basketball was the sport for you? Was there any other sports that you played? 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…

with Cerebral Palsy in my 7th grade physical education class. The lesson that I will be teaching over is basketball and ways that I can teach the sport that will benefit all students in my class.

Throughout my entire life, I have played basketball. Thinking back on it today, this is basically my first year I haven’t played basketball. Although I know this sport like I know how to tie my shoes, I’ve never really thought of it in any other way besides an activity that I love. My many years of playing influenced my decision to use this topic for my assignment, but also the big impact it had throughout the rest of my family. My grandpa had coached college basketball, and my mom played…

College basketball vs. pro basketball It is surprising that college basketball teams do not even play half as much as pro basketball teams in one season. In a regular season, NCAA basketball teams play about 30 games, compared to the pros that play 82 games a season. Although they get to play this many games, they still sometimes get play in playoff games and championship games at the end of the season. In college, they have an end of the season tournament to get to the final four in a one…

The Career Ending Play I grew up playing basketball just about my whole life I really never found a sport that I considered more fun than basketball. Soccer was pretty close, but it was still for sure my second best option. I played basketball every chance I got when I was growing up I had my own basketball hop and everything. My friends would come over all the time and we would be out there all day just playing ball. Once I started sixth grade that’s when I started to take the sport more…

With a mere 39.0 seconds left in the 1998 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship Game, the Lady Volunteers, coached by Pat Summitt are in the lead by twenty-two points. As Chamique Holdsclaw, player of the game, comes off of the court, she carries with her twenty-five points, ten rebounds, and six assists. While starters celebrate the victory with their coach, the underclassmen players finish out the game, holding the other team from a victory. The Lady Volunteers won that game against Louisiana…

could have got a charged for trespassing without experience college life. The rest of the week I went to the gym around the same time after ROTC and just shot the ball around. Every time I stepped on the court, I admired the shiny floors and the fact there are six basketball hoops and three courts. There was nothing too serious these days, not that many people playing. I have to shoot on every hoop for the different feels of the rims, using it as a way to get my mind off of being nervous about…

sports is one of the best extracurricular activities in high school. My freshman year I participated in football, basketball, and golf. I had fun playing each of these sports, and I took pleasure in being highly involved in hobbies outside of class. However, after my freshman year, I felt that I was too busy and needed to cut back on what I was involved in. So I decided to quit basketball. At first I thought it was a mistake to quit because I had been on a traveling team since third grade.…
