Extra Curricular Basketball

Outside of school I play lots of basketball. I could say that it is one of my favorite things to do. Basketball was an easy choice for me because Basketball has left a big impact on my life. I have met a lot of great people, learned a lot of new techniques and strategies, taught me the importance of teamwork and allows me to stay active which is awesome. I have been playing basketball since 2013 so six long years now which has taught me a lot about life and the importance of working as a team. It’s true that no one can do everything by themselves which is something Basketball expertly showcases. Basketball has also taught me about managing time and having a schedule. Sometimes I practice with my team three times a week which can clog my schedule a bit which is why I have learned to better manage my time and be more efficient. Basketball has made me think a lot about the future and possibly even a career path. Its been more then once that I’ve thought about playing in front of thousands of people on a basketball court. But if I stayed a little more realistic, I’d probably play basketball as a hobby and instead do something else for a living. How basketball has impacted my life is very significant. I’ve learned a lot of things and has made a lot more resilient to things I might otherwise be more susceptible too. For example, Basketball has helped me a lot with stress that comes from school, etc. In conclusion, I’d say that basketball is something I hold very close and are very passionate about that I will always keep with me. It has taught me things that has already helped me a lot through the little time I’ve played basketball and I couldn’t be more happy to continue for the rest of my life.
