I come to present my passion,
basketball 🏀. I've been playing this sport since I was 5 years old and now, at
20, it's still my favorite and I never get tired of practising it.
It all started because my father played it when he was
young and as a child I always played with him. When I was 5 years old my
parents decided that, since I liked it so much, they should sign me up for the
sport's extracurricular activity, and they did it.
The year I started I loved it, I knew that this sport
was my thing and that I wanted to continue on this path. Since then, I've
played on three different teams. My stage from 5 to 16 years I played in EDO
Blanco Amor, from 17 to 19 in PabellĂłn Ourense and now, since two years ago, I
play in Carmelitas Ourense.
In summer, when I don't go on holiday somewhere, I
spend my time throwing balls into a basket in my country house. I am always
there for hours and hours every day, and I never get bored. With a basket and a
ball I'm happy for the whole day. Hours can go by and I'm still as entertained
as I was in the first minute.
I have had to sacrifice many things to be able to
play; parties, birthdays, celebrations... but all of it has been worth it
because I love basketball. It's a way to stop thinking about everything else
and clear my mind for a while. When I coach or play I don't think about
anything else but that.
When something is part of your life for so long, it's
already part of you, and that's what happens to me with basketball, which is
part of me. I hope that my body will let me play for many more years and that,
one way or another, it never leave my life. đź’™

ReplyDeleteI love this post, because I really understand what this sport means to you, Teresa. It happens the same to me with volleyball! What would it be of us without sports?

ReplyDeleteBasketball is also my favourite sport to play!! When we have a possibility to organize a match, I will beat you!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading that, Teresa, especially the bit about how basketball helps you stop thinking and clear your mind – when we devote ourselves fully to any one thing, we enter into a kind of trance or flow state and I think that is really good for our overall well-being!
