Dishin' & Swishin'

I'm so petrified, I have basketball tryouts in three days. Last year for basketball I was in sixth grade and made the seventh grade team, otherwise known as the B-team. This year I am in seventh grade and I want to make the A-team. I really feel as if I do my best I can make the team, although  I am quite nervous.

I have played basketball for many years, and over those many years I have gotten exceptionally good. I love basketball and practice it daily. Everyday I get to the school around 7:00 which gives me lots of time to practice. My whole family plays basketball and my parents are very good, so I get a ton of great advice and inspiration.

Another reason why I would love to make the A-team is because I would be playing with all the kids I have played with my whole life. Although I am very stressed and nervous that I won't make the A-team, and I have a lot of pressure because the eighth graders want me to make the team. But the last few days my dad had been talking to me about not being worried.                              

Along with being nervous, I am quite confident because I am very athletic and have played for many years. No matter how nervous I am, I'm going to just try my hardest on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. And I'll find out the results of which team I make on Wednesday after tryouts. 
                                                               Can't wait!

Good luck! It sounds like you are willing to do hard work to achieve your goals. It also sounds like you love basketball enough, that you will play your best, no matter what team you are on. It sounds like you are one of those lucky people who have "the love of the game".

Determination, practice and passion for whatever you do is the key, and it seems you have those three. Be confident, if you believe it, you can make it happen ;) Good luck and we'll see you at the A-team!
