Basketball Games!

Hey! I haven't been posting for a while so I thought that my first new post should be about our Basketball team!! Well we have been practicing every Friday and every practice had been incredible we not only have grown in a close friendship but we have grown into a determined team! Our first game was on Tuesday and the whole team had the "first game-jitters" which is understandable. We lost, but the good news is that Lacey and I made our only points, we were so happy with the four points that we had. Our second game was on Thursday and even though we did not win we earned some wonderful comments from the coach and the assistant-coach(my dad!). They were very proud that we had wonderful difference but frowned on our offence. The assistant coach said that we accomplished the difficult task of basketball and now we just need to work on the easy stuff...offence. :)

Practice was tonight and I must say that that was the worst practice ever! There was too much talking and not enough action and actually applying what we learned. There were two extra dad's out there!! I really don't like having four people telling me what to do, especially since there are all telling us something different, and it is always hard for me to listen to all of them and make them happy, because if I don't do what they say they won't shut-up, they will continue to inform me of what I am doing wrong. Personally I think that the "original" coach should be the only one telling us what to do, but I do really enjoy the fact that my dad takes his time to help me and my brother learn the sport of basketball.

Know since we are on the topic of basketball I thought that it would be appropriate for me to say a few things to encourage my team mates! To Lacey, Bella, and Emma- My dad is very proud of your efforts and the time that you take to try what he says, and after every game he gloats on you all for the excellent job that you did and the hard performance that you made! To Nevada- My dad thinks that you are trying hard, and doing your best getting the rebounds, but after every game he still is set on wanting you to jump to the hoop(personally, I think you are doing great!) So with those encouraging thoughts to some of my team mates, I will have to close here! Thanks for bearing with me and reading my post!!
