Maybe

If your a hooper, when you first see a new pair of shoes or basketball rocked by your favorite player, you immediately want it. You try everything to get that basketball. You ask your friends, what is the best way to get it, and then you finally do. Words cannot express what you feel at this point. The feeling of getting something you have been thinking about nonstop is one to be cherished as well as the basketball. Now this basketball is crisp, hard and you have to get a feel for it. You work on your game everyday with this ball, day nad night. You think you have a feel for this ball and as time goes on the ball changes. The ball changes for various reasons as well. The amount of time you have spent with the ball or the conditions you were in with the ball are all factors that contribute to this smoothing out of the basketball. And in order to keep your feeling for the ball you must adjust. If you adjust to fast, however the ball will end up worse than it would faster than if you adjusted at the right pace. In addition, if adjust too slow the ball will just pass on to antoher who can. Then the day comes. The day when everything you put into your game comes to light, GAMEDAY. It's a struggle, best believe, but throughout you kept your head. The game is on the line and in your hands. Your shot looks good but you missed and you lose. After the game you wonder how did i miss that even after all the practice. It stays in your head for awhile. Maybe you put too much on the shot or not enough. Maybe you did not practice enough or the right way. Maybe you did not do all the intangibles necessary. Maybe you fooled yourself this whole time, that you were that good. Maybe you were not ready. Maybe you was using the wrong ball all along. How you act now, though, is going to affect your game later on. Just try to remember that a good shooter always keeps a smile because he knows that you get more than one shot, for that one, special trophy.
