Improving our TEAM game

8th Grade Black And Yellow Teams.

I play for the FortCampbell Snipers AAU basketball team. I'm on the 8th grade yellow team, and we have a lot of talent. But, when we played in our first tournament together, it felt like the team did not have that much chemistry. I understand it was our first time playing together, but we are improving everyday in practice. Since then, everyone of our teammates are getting used to each other style of playing, and we are getting better executing the plays. We have the talent to compete. Once we get better as a team, I'm absolutely believe that we will become successful like the 8th grade team, and we will win many games.

Attitude is everything.

Your attitude will guide you throughout your life. It can determine what you want to do in life if you can control it properly. If you talk back to an adult or try to argue with somebody, some people would not tolerate that at all. For example, the basketball team I play on is concerned about attitude on and off the court. If one of us players does get an attitude with the coach, the coaches specifically stated that will we not play or even see that basketball court. That's why I'm humble about playing time, and I make sure my attitude is in check before I say anything unnecessary.   

I wonder if I moved

Sometimes I think about this question many times. Just letting you know, I'm NOT moving. I wonder how all of my friends would react. Will they cry, be sad, mad, shocked? Probably they will. If I moved, I would miss everybody that I know and talk to them as much as I can. If I ever figure out that I move from Tennessee, it would be the worst feeling ever. But, sometimes it has to be like that. I hope that never happens.
