This Week / Year

This week has been extremely chaotic. At the beginning, I was deciding weather I was going to play varsity football for the NCS playoffs. After a very tough decision, was going to give it a try. That day, we had our first practice and it was very boring. All I did was stand on the sidelines waiting for the coaches to give me a chance to play. But they never did. the time was going by extremely slow and I was very bored because I had not got on the field yet. When practice was coming to an end we had to condition our bodies. So we ran for a very long time and did other things that made us tired. After practice was over, I thought to myself, all I did during that practice was stand on the sidelines and condition myself. At that moment I realized that the team did not need me and it was pointless for me to play. So I quit the team. Another reason why I decided to quit was because I had basketball tryouts. The very next day I decided that I would go to the tryouts and play the sport I loved. The tryouts didn't go as I expected it to. I didn't know that I would be so rusty after not playing for only one month. I couldn't make a shot, executed drills incorrectly, and made bad decisions. I didn't think I was going to make the team. But the next day, after practicing hours at my house, I was much better. I was content with how I preformed but I know it was not the best of my abilities. I was frustrated and I didn't know how to make myself better. Even though I am getting better every practice, I am still not as good as I want to be. I also don't know what my chances are on making the team. Basketball is my favorite sport and I will be furious if I got cut from the team. This year has been very hard and frustrating but I know I have to forget about what has happened and move on with my life.

This year has been a confusing one. At first, I wanted to play for the football team after I decided I would give it up for good. After a very disappointing season, I had a decision to make on if I would like to play for the varsity team in the NCS playoffs. When I wanted to give it a try, I quit after the first practice. Then, trying out for the basketball team was extremely bad. I didn't and still don't know what is wrong with my game. Its hard to figure out what I am doing wrong and I need to fix it fast before I get cut from the team and give up sports for my life. I am very sure that if I do not make the basketball team this year, I will give it up for my whole life and focus on other things in life. This year has been very hard on me and I don't know when its going to turn around and if it ever will. But I will keep on focusing on the positive things and carry on from that.

Start of a New Season

Now that the football season is coming to an end, i am now reminiscing on what I have accomplished this year. I am wondering on how much I have improved in the game and if I will play in the future. This year has been very tough for me because I joined late and I was basically catching up the whole year. This season has been very disappointing and that's why I am questioning if I should play next year. But I know I can't keep on thinking about my disappointments this year. I have basketball season to look forward to. This year is going to be very interesting. We have a new coach that I am not familiar with. It will be very challenging and hard at some times, but I think we will have a successful year.
Even though my football year was very disappointing, I still can look forward to the basketball season. My tryouts start this Monday and I know I still need a lot of practice. I have not played basketball in about three months and I'm scared I will make a bad first impression on the new coaches. During these tryouts I will have a lot more pressure and will be more nervous because I don't know if I have what it takes to make the team. Basketball has always been my favorite sport to play but after this long season of football, I am not sure I am ready to start basketball. It is very hard to change sports without any break or time to practice. It is a lot more difficult but I think by body has what it takes to make the transition. I don't know if I will have a lot of fun playing basketball this year if I make the team. I do not really like our new coach and the style we are playing. For this reason, I am also skeptical if I want to play. Basketball has always been my favorite sport but as I get older I am losing the passion to play. Its a tough decision I have to make and I hope in the end it will work out for the best.

My Blogs

In the beginning I decided that I was going to write mainly on sports. It was very fun and exciting to finally write about something I enjoyed. But after a while, I didn't know what else I could write about. So I tried something different, I tried writing about myself and it was very effective. I would write about how my decisions and experiences in my life have made me the man I am today. It seemed like I was going to enjoy writing again. As the weeks went on, my blogs kept on getting better and better but I realized that the more personal my blogs are the better it gets. So I decided that I would stop writing about my personal experience and write about something else. So that's where I am today and I hope that I can think of something that I enjoy writing about.
Writing these blogs have always been fun for me. It has told me a lot of myself and who I am. They helped me see what I have done with my life so far and what decisions I made. I didn't realize all the things I actually did until I read my blogs. Its hard to believe that after all these years in my very short life, I have done so much things that had an impact on who I am today. Each experience has taught me something very special and gave me a better understanding of myself. Writing about sports and my personal experiences had been very enjoyable, but I am ready to start writing about something else. I hope I will be able to find something that I enjoy writing about as much as I loved writing about sports. These blogs have been extremely fun to write and I hope that I will continue to have a lot of fun making new blogs that everyone can read and enjoy.
