My History of BasketbalL:
I started playing basketball on an actual team when I was in 2nd grade. The next three years were just sorts of little leauge teams with churches or the city of westerville. In sixth grade I played on a "travel" team and every year after that I played for "AAU" which stands for Amatuer Athletic Union. I played for three different teams. My Senior year of high school I decided not to play AAU. Starting in 7th grade (which was when I could start) I played AAU during the Fall and Spring time and then during the actually basketball season I played for my school team. In high school the rules got a little more strict so I was not able to play AAU in the fall, you could only play in the spring strictly one month after your regular season ended. I grew up loving basketball because I came from a family that loved it. My sister, brother, and even my dad played growing up for schools and different programs. My brother and dad played through high school and my sister played through middle school. My 8th grade year at my middle school, my brother got the head coach of the 7th grade girls. So i was able to watch him coach and he was able to watch me play. He also had my dad be the assistant coach. Then in high school during one of my seasons of AAU, my best friend's dad and my dad decided to coach us. After my senior year of basketball, (this year) My high school coach asked me to come back and assistant coach the freshaman girl's team. I accepted and was really happy that I did. I have already learned a lot and decided that I want to coach while being a teacher after college. That's all I have for now! bYEe

Sounds like you really enjoy it. And congrats on discovering what you want to do! i'm still working on that one... lol.
ReplyDeleteThis took me back to when I always wanted to play basketball growing. Being a shy kid and short, I never lived my dream of playing basketball because thinking about what people might say about me made me nervous. After reading this blog I feel like I should have played the sport and gave a care about what others had to say. Nice blog and I hope you have fun being a coach!
ReplyDeleteYour blog reminds me of when I used to play baseball. I played from first or second grade till sixth or seventh. My final year, I had hit a home run and caught a ball that would have been a home run in the same game. I think we lost that game though. But anyway, I hope you enjoy coaching.
ReplyDeleteNice blog, i grew up playing basketball. When i got to highschool though, i picked football only, becuase i was short. Then the end of my jr year i got tall and wish i had played b ball. Good luck coach
ReplyDeletei really like your blog! i use to play basketball when i was little and loved it, but as i got older i was too short to play in high school so i stoped playing. thats great that you got asked to be a coach! good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have the same passion for basketball as you do. AAU is also something that I did since the 7th grade for All-Ohio. Unlike you I don’t believe that I would end up being a coach.
