I was on varsity for 4 years. Was I amazing? No. Was I the star? Nope. But I was good enough to letter all 4 years. Why? Because I have been playing since I was 5 years old. I ran all those lines that Coach Steers told me to. I trained off season. And one bigger reason, I was an athlete. I was never skinny, but I was a lot more fit.
Now trying to play basketball, my head knows what to do and my freaking body won't do it. All these things that all these years that I have learned and have become second nature, I cannot do anymore. Why? Have I forgot? Nope. I simply have gained a bunch of weight.
Its beyond frustrating to to tell your body to do something, and finally, 85 minutes later, it does it. This Saturday, I get to play at the alumni game, and I have no idea how well I am going to do. Its embarrassing to get back out on that court and play so much heavier than I did last time I was on the court.
