This is already my second post today. I’m going to talk about how basketball changed my life for the better and for the worst. I started playing in the second grade and I could tell that it was going to come a little easy to me at first. I play on the 4th grade team and started. I played all of elementary then eventually I got to high school. Coach Womack used to scare me! He was my first coach who wasn’t my family member or someone really close to me! He ended up making me love basketball even more than I already did. My seventh grade year I played up on Jr High and started as a post. Yes. I said post. My eight grade year was great! We won District! We beat a butt hurt team who already beat us twice. They had shirts made out saying 38-0 but little did they know they’re 37-1 now. My ninth grade year was okay. We got a new coach. No comment on that. We were the youngest team in State. We got runner up in regionals and made it to the second round in state. In regionals i had an ingury and if you were there you would know i was limping pretty badly. Turns out I have Plantars Fasciitis. It basically feels like I have a charlie horse every time I take a step. It hurts worse than spraining an ankle! The doctor told me two weeks ago that i may have to have surgery in a few years. Ill be out a full year. I’m doing everything i can now to prevent this from happening. Basketball used to be the love of my life, but now i hate it. It’s no longer fun. Sometimes i want to quit but I don’t want to let my teammates down. It’s whatever though. This year is going to be great!
