Basketball

This is my senior year. This means my last time to play high school sports. Sports are my life. I do them not  because my parents want me to, or to be involved, but I do them because I have a passion for it. I love everything about it. From the practices where you think you are going to die because you just ran 5 suicides, to playing your last game.

I just had my first day of basketball practice. Not only is it my senior year but I am the only senior that went out and we have a new coach. I didn't want a new coach. I wanted to have to same coach from freshmen year to senior year but there is nothing that I can do about it now. I just have to accept the new coach and do my best. His coaching style is EXTREMELY different then our old coach. That is good and that is bad.
This year is going to be way different. More intense, and a lot more is going to be expected out of all of us. This new coach is going to have higher expectations. Not saying that our old coach didn't want us to succeed but there is just something different about this new coach.
Being the only senior out means I have to be more of a leader. I feel a lot of pressure but that is good for me. I will have to push myself and be the best that I can be. I have to show everyone that there is a reason, other then because I'm a senior, that I am playing.
This years basketball is going to be different. But it is up to me to choose wither it is going to be different in a positive way. Or if it is going going to be different in a negative way.
