Boys’’ basketball has been putting in work into this season. The work from the team has really been reflected in the way the team is able to play together and communicate with one another.
“I like the competition and challenge and I also have to learn a lot to keep up with the pace of the team,” said Malachi Carrasco, a senior here at Selma High on the boys’ basketball varsity’s team.
Being in a team like this can really teach you discipline. All the players have to contribute to the team and give their full effort.
To be on any kind of team, especially a sports team, your spot has to be earned, as it is not simply given to you. You have to work hard for your spot just like all the others competing as well.
You also have to keep up with the team. A team has to keep a steady pace to see their progress. Progression will come from a good team who works well and collaborates together.
“I hate running but I like being with my friends/teammates,” said Kayden Berry, a junior also on the boys’ basketball varsity team.
The team strives to push one other to put forth their best efforts. Not every part of the sport can be as enjoyable, but the team tries to ensure everyone is able to embrace their struggles.
There are always pros and cons to everything. There is not much we can do about it but work through it as best as we can.
Players all contribute with their effort pushing through as a team.
Many people also get started on a journey like a sport for many reasons. One common reason to start is family or friends.
“I was inspired to start playing by seeing the culture of basketball in my friends and peers and wanting to learn about the sport that a majority of people around me love,” said Carrasco.
Carrasco was one of the many people that was influenced to play this sport by the people around him.
Many people can start new hobbies that they never even knew they were interested in. A sport is a great hobby to start on because it can bring a lot of things like staying fit. Playing a sport can also create new friendships.
Overall a team, like a sports team, requires a lot of discipline and effort from each and every player. There are pros and cons but a team should be able to push through anything together.
