I’d like to start this off by saying that I have been playing basketball my whole life. I didn’t play for a team in middle school and I didn’t play for a team until 10th grade in high school. But that doesn’t mean I’m anymore or any less of a hardworking basketball player. Even though I didn’t play for a team until half way through high school doesn’t mean that I’m not dedicated, that I’m not determined, and most definitely that I don’t love the sport.
