| will i be a good basketball player? My biggest dream is to either play NBA or play MLS. OK, I suck at soccer and I'm much better at basketball. I'm 12 and I've got a lot of time to practice basketball. But, sometimes I make 3 out of 20 free throws. I haven't improved very much. I really I have a very strong shooting arm but I overshoot the ball. Last year, I didn't make my middle school basketball team. The team ended up going 1-9 because they had the worst defense in our league. I have a very soild defense as my P.E. teacher told me and I can nail almost every 3-pointer I shoot with my strong arm but thats not what the basketball coach looks at. he just looks at layups(i'm working on them), free throws(my grandma can shoot better free throws than me), and dribbling(I just can't dribble the ball with my right because i'm left handed). I hope the coach puts three pointers and defense in the tryouts if not maybe I'll have to join a local community team. Maybe my high school coach will have a better tryout system. |
