Earning Respect blogg #9

Since day one in basket ball no one really knew me they thought I suck. I never really wanted to be there because it was awkward. All of a sudden I started calling them out to play one on one and I took them out they kept talking till I took them out they had nothing to say they got mad. In just one night I beat 5 of the people in the team. After that I showed who I was and watt I can do. Then the coach dint let me play so I asked the main coach to take me down to frosh and I played on the team and got minutes even though I was coming of the bench when I clearly had a starting position but they dint let me play but they messed up and I came in and saved the team. I remember one time we where losing by 3 points and I got the ball in the corner 3 and I pumped fake I made him jump I went under him and went for a floater because I knew the guy coming at me was going to foul me and I got and one opportunity the guy was fouled out and I made the free throw and got us to over time but the coach took me out I had a good game. We ended up loosing the game by 8 points every one in the team was mad at coach I was mad I had all my energy and he took me out. One of the guys in the team had a team and they called me at night and asked me if I would want to play for them and I accepted it. I had games every day Wednesdays and Fridays for school and Monday and Thursday for the other team I took that team to win the championship. For school we got second but we could have done better but they dint let me play but that's on the coach I did my part and I got defensive player of the year for school. I felt good knowing they saw my game and they thought I deserve a trophy. I had a good season but I will do better next year no matter what.

    

Taking time of to get me ready blog #8

I been only going to 6th period practice because i been doing work so i can get my grades up. I been going on Saturdays to practice on my own games so i can get better because i need it but the coach is being dumb and telling the main coach i am  not doing anything i am just slacking off its getting to me. I try my hardest i got heart for this game but somehow managed to take away some of the passion i got for basketball. I am trying my best to keep going and not stopping the thing i am most positive is i wont quit. I am going to get back what is mine whether the coach likes it or not i will get the passion back that's why i been practicing on my own and i am getting it back soon i wont care what the coach has to say. No matter what i will train till i cant no more and come back the next day and do the same till i get my game to were i need it to be. This coach the honest truth he gets me so angry he docent know how to coach all he does is make us run for having fun playing hes taking away the fun of the sport even the varsity players got tired of him in one week. All the varsity players love to play the game of basketball every person in the team from frosh to jv to varsity but he took away the fun in basketball.I wont let it bother me i am going to get in his mind by laughing and being happy. I don't care what he does or makes me run they whole time i can take it.
