First Game

Here it is! The moment we've all been waiting for! The first game of the basketball season. A lot of hard work has been put in and now is the time to show it all off. Coming into this game as the underdogs. Coming in as the new guys. People see them and think to their self that they cannot possibly have any talent. Little do they know that they enjoy being underdogs and coming up big is their specialty. The time has passed, and go time is now. No more stalling. Hide your butterflies and man up. If they see a sense of fear in your eyes, it's all going down hill from there. Stand your ground, play your position, and kill them on the shooting game. This is what it's all about. Prove yourself to be different. Prove yourself to be better. Know that the world is watching and they want to see physical play. Learn that basketball is like life, it's about taking chances. The smarter the chances are, the better you will be. If the chances are a slim to none option, move on to the next play. Big plays are needed, but smart play is what it's all about. Sharing the ball is the cure to a win. Winning is the chance for joy. Joy will lead to more wins! No "Michael Jordan's" need to be made here. Only team players exist on this team. Their is no "I" in "Team." If you miss a shot, brush it off and do something better on the next play. Have a defensive stop or a nice assisst and you'll be back on the money. No grudges are held here. It's not every man for himself. It's one for all, not all for one. The idea is to be on the same and nothing will go wrong, right? ...
