The most important day of my life is the day I quit basketball. It was such a relief off of my shoulders. I did not have to worry about someone breathing down my neck daily about every one of my actions. Being on the team was a huge stress for me. It was not that I did not want to put the effort into being a part of the team and doing my part, it was that I had no time in my life for what I want to do. Quitting benefited me in several ways. I was able to focus more on my education. While on the team, I never made time for my school work. Homework was always something I did during the morning. Projects were always a last minute thing. It seemed like my time was always consumed with games or play days. I am a person who loves to have time and sit down to read a book. Being on the team meant days of my week were dedicated to a ball game. Some weekends were for play days, when I wanted to be out and doing my own things with friends. Another thing is academics. I have already talked about them, but another reason it was a joy to not be on the team was my grades. My grades were never low or anything I had to worry about, but if I'm failing a class, I want it to be on my terms without punishment. I do not want to run for having a low grade when I can probably cram a few things in and bring it up. If I am failing, I should be able to do so without the worry of a coach on my back. Once again, I never had to worry about that, but it is a good thing about not being on the team.
Before I get any hate for this blog, it's just my opinion on things. I am not trying to offend anyone. The time consumed with basketball was not for me. That's all I am trying to say. If all of the time is for you, by all means, keep going. I'm gonna stop now since I am probably repeating myself.
This isn't the best, but yeah. - Brittany Fulcher
