Challenges of basketball

Basketball has its up and it also has it's downs , That means its not all fun and games when you can get hurt badly. Im not saying this to scare you but.. from experience I realised that you can easily hurt, In my third training session I ran injured my ankle by falling down incorrectly while I was doing a "lay up". The injury resulted in a torn ligament from the ankle





Ye you can easily can get hurt by doing anything so lets not always  focus on the bad side of basketball. Learning drills and plays can be a pain aswell but once you figure everything out, everything will become more fun along the way.Here are some Basketball drill you will encounter

The most thing that helped me throughout my basketball years is going to a street court and just stay there practising alone of with my friend that used to tag along with me.

Thanks for following me through my blogs, Wish you the best of luck.

A great sport to practice




In the hectic life we live today it is very important that we do some form of exercises.In my case i have found that basketball is the ideal sport to help you release stress and keep you fit at the same time.I have been practising this sport since the age of 14.

I started out with the cadets of Loyola Basketball Club.One of the great things during my 6 years of basketball experience has been the opportunity to train with one of the best basketball coaches in Malta.
Besides being highly capable in technical aspects, he is also a great leader who knows how to motivate his players to success in life and basketball.

This sport helped me to boost my self esteem along with giving me the opportunity to learn the benefits of participating in a team.

I am sure that the things I learnt from basketball will assist me to be a better man in my future life.Being a Basketball player, basketball taught me how to work both in a team and on my own and how to communicate with my team mates and obey my coach.
  
When Basketball becomes more of a occupation then a hobby these will be your results!.
