The Start of the Basketball Season

This week we had our first basketball practice. Basketball is my favorite sport, therefore I was extremely excited for the start of the season. We scrimmaged in order for the coaches to see our level of play. During these scrimmages I collaborated with the rest of my team as we worked together to reach the common goal of winning the scrimmage.  We planned different plays and effectively applied them during our scrimmage. I increased my awareness of my strengths in basketball. I realized that I am best at lay-ups and dribbling. However, I also increased my awareness of the areas where I needed growth. For example, I am not consistent with my free throws or three point shots. I hope that with practice I will improve these skills and successfully be able to use them in a game.
