The members of my basketball community are passionate about how they play the game. It consists of friends and other associates that attend the gym regularly. We all interact with a competitive edge and a will to challenge ourselves to the best of our abilities. This takes team chemistry, dedication, support, and a heightened basketball I.Q. A lot of us are a part of this community because basketball is a form of exercise and is vital to relieve stress. It provides a second home to some, and a sense of direction that motivates our self esteem. It also teaches discipline and how to work as a unit through mistakes. I feel that sports hold the advantage of connecting people from different cultures and backgrounds. It lets people who you may not interact with on a daily basis learn more about you. For example, after most games or before, we introduce ourselves and I feel like that forms a bond with others outside of just playing basketball. Even when you’re not on the same team, it shows common interest by being in the same environment. I wouldn’t just recommend basketball as a form of exercise or community to join. I would recommend all sports because of the learning experience and chance to bond with others. I hope that everyone can have experiences with different cultures and ethnicities. It’s something that’s special, which changes perspectives and assumptions to things you may not be use to.
