I believe that basketball has made me a stronger person in many different ways. These traits not only help me now but will also help me in the future. These traits consist of teamwork, perseverance, and dedication. I will explain these traits in this essay.
The first trait that I will like to explain is teamwork. Basketball has taught me this due to the fact that it is a team sport. At the start of the season my teams don’t always get along well but that's when we decide that it is important for us to all have good teamwork so that we can succeed.Soon after we start to bond well as a team we almost start to become like brothers. I feel that this skill can come in handy in many different ways in the future. I want to play in the NBA, so if I play i can use teamwork to work with my team. But in a business side of things i can use it to work with a group of people to actually get thing done. My next trait is perseverance. I use this trait daily, to persevere through each day of school. But where I got this skill was last year on the school basketball team. I didn’t start much which was a new thing or me. But i persevered and got through this by putting extra work in, in practice and off the court. I hope to use this in the future when I am faced with difficult problems such as tough times in school or difficulties with a coach. My last trait is dedication. This really really sticks out for me because to become the player that I am today it took hard work and dedication. It was hard for me at first because I’ve always been so tall and uncoordinated that simple things are a little bit harder for me. But i dedicated myself to basketball and accomplished the goals I’ve always had for myself. Now I have to set new goals and work to reach those. I can use this in the future with almost anything I do all I have to do to use it is work hard and stay loyal to whatever I’m doing. In conclusion I believe that basketball isn’t just a sport but a lesson waiting to be learned. I can back this up by all the lessons I’ve learned. But the most important ones are teamwork, perseverance, and dedication. With these three things I believe that i will succeed in whatever I do in the future.
