Summer Balling 🏀

I have been interested in basketball for a long time now and have been playing the sport for around 3 years. However due to my SAISA Track and Field training and other extra-curriculars often filling up my timetables, I have not been able to attend consistent practice session since Grade 10 when I attended IImpact Hoop Lab sessions.

Nevertheless, I have been playing increasingly more basketball outside of school since the end of OSCs 2024 Track and Field season. During this time I have spent many afternoons and weekends playing basketball with a group of my classmates, as well as working on my dribbling skills and handles at home.

Moving forward into the summer, I am planning to continue playing basketball event more, and wish to significantly improve my shooting and finishing skills through constant practice. Additionally, over the summer break I will try to workout consistently, aspiring to be able to make my first dunk by the next academic year.

Since I am moving to Slovenia where I know there are a number of opportunities to play basketball for various amateur teams, I also hope that my training and improvement in the sport over the summer will allow me to meet the requirements to make one such team once I move to my new school in Maribor.
