Day 60 of journey to high-school varsity basketball
This is day 60 of my journey to becoming a high school varsity basketball player. Today, I did a collab with a content creator named Adot. I've been watching his skits for, like, two years no, even before I got into basketball. So doing a collab with him felt insane. He gave me a lot of advice and coached me on some more advanced stuff too. I'm really happy that I got pushed out of my comfort zone because this is the only way I'm gonna get better. Even though these drills were pretty challenging, I feel like I can get the hang of them in about a month or so. One other thing I really appreciated was how detailed and granular Adad's coaching was. He really made sure every aspect of my form was correct. Honestly, when I do these drills on my own, I'm kinda just going through the motions, but I'm not actually thinking about why I'm doing what I'm doing. So it was nice having someone walk me through what the purpose of each movement was. After the drills, we played some pickup. I've seen so many videos filmed on this court, and I still can't even register that I actually played here. Anyways, Faldo see me make varsity against Salah. Its tryouts are in three months.
