Competitive Basketball...
I play competitive sports to keep myself active. I also play to keep myself
in shape. I play because my family loves to watch me play. It helps me work
hard because other people want me to be the best, just as much as I want to
be the best. My competitive teams help me stay focused.
Competitive sports help me see that teamwork is better than a one-person
game. For example, if you are trying to play a basketball team you can’t beat
anyone by yourself. You would need all five players. You need to work as a
team to beat the other team. It also helps me see that when we lose it is not
a bad thing; it is a good thing because it helps us see that there are always
ways to get better. It makes me want to work just as hard as they do to be as
good as they are.
