I need to start to being more motivated on what I am doing. Basketball is one of the things that is important that I need to pursue in life but its getting harder for me. I don't know I just feel like giving up. My body is giving up on me my soul is tired or listening to the stuff people say. I just don't know I don't think I can take it no more. Everything is getting to me my problems at home that I have to deal wit I have problems keeping up my grades as much as I try so hard I still manage to get low grades. I got problems at practice wit the coach or frosh telling me stuff why am I here that I am wasting my time that I should get another class instead of having basketball. All this is really getting to me I am not a robot I got a body just like everyone I get tired my body is worn out I got a heart like everyone else so why do people act like I don't treat me all stupid. I got problems but I still try and people just see me laughing because I don't let other people know what I am feeling. I don't like involving people I do everything on my own. I don't like involving my girl friend I don't want her to worry or hurt over this I need to take this head on. No matter what I wont look back and regret anything I did now that I think about I shouldn't everything I did is for a reason I don't care if I have mest up in the pass I am still here I been trough a lot and survived the game of life. I need to play this game with a strategy I need to control my life not let anything bother me because at the end of the day im doing this mainly for my princess which is my girl friend all this I do for if it wasn't for her ill be messing up worse by now. This is for her I will keep going I want to give her the best in the future for me and her I don't care how much I suffer now but in the future it will pay off I know so.

Making promises #11

I made a promise to my girl friend and the basketball team that I will dunk in 2 weeks. So far I have 2 days and my leg muscles hurt I been working hard. I been jumping up and down for 1 hour for 2 days now and it does work I feel like I can jump high. Today in practice I am going to see how high I can jump. I want to see how far away I am from dunking. This will help my game out a lot. This can take me to another whole level. More people will respect my game and see watt I can do. I want other teams to fear me and my team. So I can get people to see me. I want to get a chance to get a scholarship for basketball. This is a ticket out our coach from varsity was telling us we got a chance 2 people got scholarships and then mike who is a Jr already has one. He was telling us that they opened a big window for us to play basketball in college more teams will look at us now. That more opportunities are being made for us and its a great feeling. I just need to take my ticket out of here I will take it no matter what I will work hard for this.  ITS MY TURN

Living to my potential blogg #10

Every time I come to practice I take the challenge even though the couch is always yelling at me telling me stuff. There has been a lot of the players that don't get yelled at or anything that just walk away. I'm the only loyal player that hasn't left him there alone I always show up to every practice since day one and he's always saying that frosh sucks that no none even shows up to practice that he wastes his time here with us. when I'm always there early and ready to work. Now its completely different he's favoring players now he puts me aside. I been trying to raise my grades because I got into a contract were I have to keep up my grades and its hard for me school isn't easy for I try hard but sometimes I don't get good results. So the past 2 weeks I been asking the main coach if I can leave when the bell rings to do my homework so I can finish and catch up with my grades. He was ok with it he was happy I was doing it but the coach from frosh looks at me like whatever's like if I'm trying to get out of practice but no I been making up late work. Just yesterday one of the players he likes asked him to do the his work too and he was happy he shake his hand and smile and he doesn't do that to me but I don't care no more I'm serious I'm done whit his dumb attitude. I will continue I'm not even doing this for him so I don't care about his opinion I'm doing this for my girl friend she loves to see me play she was there every game watching me cheering me on making me feel happy to play through the injuries I still played I just went to the trainers to get taped and got back into the game because I did it for her not for the coach. I'm doing this for my 2 older brothers too my brother that had a chance to become a pro in the NBA I'm also doing this for my older brother that left too Detroit Georgia he's always been there for him and he wants me to do this so I'm doing this for these people who care about me not for that coach that sits there just telling us what to do and if we have fun he makes us run. The last reason I don't quit is because of the varsity coach he's a great coach he gave me a chance in the program he even went out of his way to get me a contract so I can still play even through disappointing him like that he's still doesn't judge me or treats me different. So I will live to my potential mainly for my girl friend.

Earning Respect blogg #9

Since day one in basket ball no one really knew me they thought I suck. I never really wanted to be there because it was awkward. All of a sudden I started calling them out to play one on one and I took them out they kept talking till I took them out they had nothing to say they got mad. In just one night I beat 5 of the people in the team. After that I showed who I was and watt I can do. Then the coach dint let me play so I asked the main coach to take me down to frosh and I played on the team and got minutes even though I was coming of the bench when I clearly had a starting position but they dint let me play but they messed up and I came in and saved the team. I remember one time we where losing by 3 points and I got the ball in the corner 3 and I pumped fake I made him jump I went under him and went for a floater because I knew the guy coming at me was going to foul me and I got and one opportunity the guy was fouled out and I made the free throw and got us to over time but the coach took me out I had a good game. We ended up loosing the game by 8 points every one in the team was mad at coach I was mad I had all my energy and he took me out. One of the guys in the team had a team and they called me at night and asked me if I would want to play for them and I accepted it. I had games every day Wednesdays and Fridays for school and Monday and Thursday for the other team I took that team to win the championship. For school we got second but we could have done better but they dint let me play but that's on the coach I did my part and I got defensive player of the year for school. I felt good knowing they saw my game and they thought I deserve a trophy. I had a good season but I will do better next year no matter what.

    

Taking time of to get me ready blog #8

I been only going to 6th period practice because i been doing work so i can get my grades up. I been going on Saturdays to practice on my own games so i can get better because i need it but the coach is being dumb and telling the main coach i am  not doing anything i am just slacking off its getting to me. I try my hardest i got heart for this game but somehow managed to take away some of the passion i got for basketball. I am trying my best to keep going and not stopping the thing i am most positive is i wont quit. I am going to get back what is mine whether the coach likes it or not i will get the passion back that's why i been practicing on my own and i am getting it back soon i wont care what the coach has to say. No matter what i will train till i cant no more and come back the next day and do the same till i get my game to were i need it to be. This coach the honest truth he gets me so angry he docent know how to coach all he does is make us run for having fun playing hes taking away the fun of the sport even the varsity players got tired of him in one week. All the varsity players love to play the game of basketball every person in the team from frosh to jv to varsity but he took away the fun in basketball.I wont let it bother me i am going to get in his mind by laughing and being happy. I don't care what he does or makes me run they whole time i can take it.

still improving through practice blog 7

I am still learning a lot in basketball i am so close to achieving the attribute to dunk my vertical is high up there. I can touch the rim but without the ball so i need to work harder so i can dunk. When i get in the court i go all hard till i need to stop. sometimes i go to the park with my Friends before i made the team and they use to call me try hard because i wouldn't go easy or stop running till we stopped playing. I go one on one with people at the park and i use to bet and make money of people i dint cheat or anything i told them are you sure and they said yes so i won money by playing my sport having fun making money. My older brother played me and i beat both of them already they use to be in basketball all of there life's. Then my brother got in to trouble the one that i look up to he use to be like a father to me i looked up to him he thought me everything i know. I never had a dad that told me what to do or teach me anything i figured it out with my brothers help. Now hes not with me no more i have to learn more things on my own he had to leave and now i am alone in trying to figure everything out i play basketball but i had given up then someone especial came and helped me get back up and i am learning how to be a basketball player how to have feelings so i wont hurt her because she actually cares about me and now i am doing everything i can to be the best i can be so i wont let her down. This is why i have a fire a desire to keep on going i have two people in my life im doing this for.

i am becoming frustrated with the coach i had in frosh hes killing my game i cant dribble because all he does is yell at everything i do i don't do anything right it has to be done his way if not its wrong. i make my shots shooting my way but he makes me shoot his way and i air ball and then he makes me run for something that's not even my fault i am not even able to shoot the way he wants me to. This is not even fun for me i am loosing the passion i got for basketball hes taking it away the only reason i am staying is for my girl friend,the coach from varsity and my older brother that's the only reason i don't give up and tell him off.I am still going to stay strong and stay and work on my game i am not letting him take it away i only have to deal with him for 3 months i can do it.i am going to get better this is what i really wan to do in my future i wont give up till i cant do it no more i am trying my hardest and i have the coach telling me stuff that i don't try but i am going to prove him wrong. I am going to continue through it all this is my passion. Basketball is a great sport and i want to make it my future is not easy but i will do it for the people i care. The people i care for are always there for me and  i will do it for them and i know there there for me through it all that's why i continue.
