My First Basketball
Game
Even though basketball is not the
most popular thing in Germany I really like the sport and decided to join our
CHS basketball team. I knew that I was not that good but that is probably
genetic because I am not American. I just tried to understand what the coaches
wanted me to do and even though I was quite clumsy at first, the others always
tried to help me whenever they could.
Then
our first game came up and I still did not know all the plays of our JV team. I
got to play for a few minutes though, and I was very glad that I did not cause
too many fouls. I was very nervous and probably not a big help for my teammates.
I did not really try to score a bucket; actually I rather tried to give the
basketball to somebody else as quickly as possible.
I would
say that my first basketball game was a success for me even though we lost the
game. I am one of the better players in my school in Germany but our game is
nothing compared to the American way of playing basketball. When I practice
with the other players I can see that I am a lot better now than I was on my
first day.
I do not play much in the games,
but I still enjoy being a part of the team and watching the Varsity game for
free.
