First let me tell you, I have a big NBA dream to accomplish and I'm willing to do anything to get there. Therefore, making the JV team is a crucial step for me this year in high school. However, I made many mistakes such as not training the right way and not having the confidence to showcase my skills. Furthermore, instead of trying my best during drills, I hid behind the crowd instead of trying. I was basically a ghost in the gym full of people. Eventually, I got cut from the Freshmen team obviously and after that, I was so heartbroken. Now, this is a new fresh year and that I cannot afford to make the same mistakes. I practiced more and worked even harder and smarter. Therefore, I've seen the improvement of my knowledge in basketball. I just need to showcase it with full hustle and confidence during games which I highly struggle. If there's any ways to improve this flaw and I can show coaches why I deserve to be on that team, please let me know. tryouts are happening after the first week after Thanksgiving. I cannot make the same mistake and crush my dreams into pieces. Thank you everyone. Also, I appreciate anybody willing to help, it really means a lot to me.
