I Miss Playing Basketball

in Hive Naijayesterday

Lately, my schedule has been tight and I keep on wondering if I am engaging in the right way or the wrong way. Some people complain about what I am doing that is taking my time while others encourage me to keep up with it. We cannot know the value of time unless I miss it or get too busy, sometimes I even struggle to write.

My love for basketball has been right since my childhood, I love playing and watching the game of basketball. My dad's friend who happens to be 6.8ft tall was the first person to buy a basketball for me and another kit I needed, he was a nice man, and he encouraged me to engage more in the game and to be more focused than some united state Ncca college basketball recruiters in my country may demand my skills when they see I am very good with it or other countries then from there I can get the opportunity to enter the NBA if I trained so perfectly because he saw I was serious and dedicated to learning the game.

My problem when practicing was that I didn’t have a coach to direct me on what was right and wrong to do, I learned from friends and random people corrections and they were encouraging me that practice was going to make me perfect with the game. Later I got really good in my way especially when bouncing and shooting from the three-point area. It took me time to learn how to dunk the ball in the net perfectly but continued practice made me good with it.

Lately, since I got this job I have been occupied, trying to build my Curriculum vitae to be more standard, especially in an overpopulated country like Nigeria where everyone struggles to get a job and trying to be outstanding from each other through skills and competence.

Although It has not been long, just 1 month and 2 weeks it feels like a year, I feel like my body needs to be exercised. That feeling of not doing excersise for too much and I have been sitting down for too long, or doing some regular task that requires brain stress for too long. A friend of mine even called me a few weeks ago and one did today again that it's been a long they saw me and I explained, but I will be resuming the game today, in the evening at least I get to play for maybe like 2hours before the working hours start.

Having a good sport we love is real fun and life, it gets to make our livelihood interesting and fun, I can’t even imagine how I will feel not even playing or watching basketball for too long, this past month was like hell for me, even thou Just to watch the game at least I know I am engaging in it also.

Wow I never knew you played basketball or love it, but then it's great to know, seeing how you talked about it, I even thought it been years since you played, not knowing it's just about a month.
Hopefully you'll find your way to it again.
