The Desire of a Great Sport

                       

The Desire of a Great Sport

 

Desire is the most important factor in the success of any athlete, (Willie Shoemaker). Have you ever desired something so important to you, that it changes you life by a lot? I have been playing basketball more than 7 years. Without it my life wouldn't be what it is now. 7 years ago my sister and I where introduced the beautiful sport, basketball. I was only a little kid and new nothing, yet I loved basketball. This brought me to who I am. I started as a little boy and became a bright, kind teenager. With the years of fun and practice I have been rewarded many times. Tournaments, medals, enjoyment and love. My most valuable reward was the awesome tournament. Our team beat everyone’s butt. Winning the gold medal, yet the best reward from this was the fun we all had. We beat everyone with fairness and enjoyment. Basketball is my most desired sport. I have gone so far with this hobby, and I am planning to continue it. With the rewards from playing and loving this beautiful sport, I have changed in many ways, the ways I love.
