GP Basketball

This blog post will be shorter than others due to the disappointment that is still inside me after this turn of events. If any of you have read my post "GP Football" (check it out!), you would know that I am pretty good and get lots of playing time, but with basketball...not so much.

 I wish that basketball was my thing but it really isn't. I really wanted to try it, and as much as I really wanted to play it, which I still get to, my friends got on the B Team because they actually play basketball. It is also hard because this week I signed up to join my friend's club, Arizona Soccer Academy, and both basketball practices conflict with the ASA ones so it would be tough.

 The coaches for basketball said that all you have to do as players is have a great attitude and give a great effort. I felt kind of robbed because I think I did both of those things yet I still managed to make the C Team, which is the third and worst team that you can make. Some people would say that it was a matter of size, but let me tell you that you can look at this other super tall kid in my grade (not saying names) and that accusation will never cross your mind ever again. You could guess how frustrated I was after they told me what team I was on, and I really just want to improve from now on so that in the future I won't get on a rock-bottom team.

 Now lets end on a happy note. I know that you can switch teams during a season so if I look good in front of my fellow teammates, I could, just possibly, get moved up. We'll just end there. Thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!

A guy that is a bit better than me.
