2 points, basket

I have been going to Ogletree for a good while now, its a really good time being there. I am glad I had the chance to help the kids with there being more positive attitudes toward each other. I did my project on improving my basketball skills and several weeks ago I started going to play basketball after school with kids at Ogletree and ended up being a positive role model for good sportsmanship. I encouragered the young boys to pass the ball, work together, and have fun playing the game and not be so serious. The kids and I just shot, we played a game called around the world and along the way we all became better basketball players. Writing this blog really made me think about how I wanted to improve and to go out and practice weekly.

Loving Ogltree a lot

I went to Olgetree to play basketball with the 5th graders. They are really fun kids, they have a lot of energy. They are good at basketball, really none of them are bad at all. They are all really good at shooting. I was surprised how good they are they have some good skills they are a good bit better at basketball than I was at that age. They really like talking sports to me, and who  your favorite player is and we talk about how they are doing in school with school work and sports. I also got taught by E.j an auburn basketball player. We were working on an strong layups. What he taught was get you right hand put the ball there so the defender will not get the ball as easy, you get the ball and swipe it to the left so the defender will not see it coming and you can drive a strong layup to the basket. I did lot for me just teaching me that one skill.

Having a lot of fun at Olgetree

Today I went to Olgetree to play basketball with 5th graders. I enjoyed it a lot just trying to connect with some younger kids to help them have better sportsmanship. We played a game called gotcha and we played a regular basketball game. In addition to myself there are two college students helping out with the younger kids. They are really nice kids and even though I have only been there twice I feel like I have made a good connection with them. Because basketball is so competitive, it is easy to get caught up in wanting to be the best player. I hope to just get the kids to have a good time playing and not be so serious. I look forward to going back next week and having fun with them.

One of my Rolemodels

What I want to do is work on all basketball skills just like Kevin Love. The reason why choose him is because he works hard everyday. No matter the cause he is a great team player. He is loves the game of basketball he is such a great long range shooter he can make a long shoot anywhere on the court. He is a great clutch shooter. He plays in the NBA for minnostea Timberwolves his position is forward he is also a really defender, he is a really good at blocking to. He likes making big plays all over the court like steals and dunks and rebounds. His team is going to the playoffs right now he is a big part of their team right now he can do whatever you want to. He is a problem for anybody that plays him, he plays really confident whatever he does that's why he is so smart and he also has always been a great player since day one. I just want to be kind of like him I think I am kind of like him in some ways. I am a really good long range shooter and I can make really good rebounds. I am also a good thinker, I can make plays for team if they need help and I can make good passes for teammates. I think he is such a amazing player and I am going to try my best to be a great player just like him.

My basketball skills always can be better

I have been doing ok. My basketball techniques have been a little worse. It is the little things you have to do that I am having trouble with.  I am not always following through with my shots. You need to think were you are going to shoot every time you are on the court, but there are a lot of other things to think about. I am still good at my dribbling moves. I feel like they are really good, and I look smooth moving the ball all around the court. My behind the back move is really good. I have been working on that a lot. I just try to take everything one day at a time. My brother and me work on all of are techniques everyday I want to be the best I can be for myself we also just play around with each just shooting, layups, and are dribbling moves, and are rebounding skills, he is a big part in why I am getting better most of the time we love playing basketball together. He is a great mentor to me in whatever I do.

Always like improving my basketball skills

I have been doing good in basketball, My basketball skills are improving a lot on shooting, three throws, dribbling moves, layups, also rebounds. My shooting as improved a lot every time I play I have made about 8 three pointers every time, I feel like I can do a lot of great things on three pointers I feel really confident in it I always have, my game also has improved on my dribbling moves are really good I can do almost all the moves now, I am really at doing in between my legs and out, that's probably the best dribbling move I can do but I feel confident in all my dribbling moves. My layups are really easy I can make a layup from anywhere on the court, I can make a really surprising layup that you will be really surprised at it and also can make layup going straight to the basket. My rebounding is really good I can go reach for it in the air and I can go run for the rebound and score on the other way.

My basketball skills are a lot better

I have been doing really good in my basketball skills. My shooting has been really good lately, the long shooting has been really good I have been getting better everyday that's one of my really good strength I feel like I can my long shots in anywhere on the court. My dribbling moves have been getting a lot better now I feel like I can do any of the dribbling moves that you want me to, I feel like I can put a move on somebody that would not expect it and score on them. I also can make a lot more three throws I have made 12 to 15 three throws I have been shooting throws a little different now it has been helping a lot more now. I have been shooting three throws a lot I have not done bad at three throws in along time. My layups have been really easy to, I can go to the goal and make a really good layup easy. I also think my shorter shooting has been easier than ever. I just think all my basketball skills have been doing a lot better than ever, I feel like my game is the best it is ever been. I seen how whatever you want to do you should do the best you can.
