uzo.

i finished basketball camp today.
christ, the hardest three days of sport ive ever done.
i wish i had been there for the whole week though.
it was an awesome experience playing with a university player,
and having a british and german coach flown out to teach the 12 of us for the day.
they had awesome accents-
not to mention an amazing grasp on the game
which helped me realize: theres just so much density to it.
you may be shown only a few aspects of basketball,
but with time and experience, you are shown so many different perspectives.
i did drills ive never seen before.
i ran like there was no tommorow.
i learned skills ive only seen in the NBA.
most of all, i realized the girls i play with want to be like uzo.
they want to play university basketball
and experience sport to the highest level possible.
me? im not like that.
im there for the sake of sweating my ass off- and loving every second.
maybe my love for the game will turn into something more. who knows?
we talked about university basketball, and what it takes.
i dont think i could manage school, basketball/work out every day (at least)
and possibly a job as well.
that takes time managment, which i really dont have.
i think being a student, and taking it slow, to love it is what matters.
maybe then, ill take up some sport i can play recrecationally forever.
ive always wanted to do squash...or yoga...or kickboxing...
i have plenty of time to decide.
after all, two years can be passed as quickly or as slowly as i like.
