Basketball is not just a sport it is also a way of life! Basketball can teach you so many things that you can use in your everyday life. Basketball teaches you how to communicate which is what every relationship needs whether it a personal or professional relationship. In basketball requires players to speak to one another on the court so each player will know where their post is and who is guarding who. Basketball also teaches you motor skills such as ball handling and you also learn control and you get exercise. With drills such as suicides where you run from one line to the next and back to where you started from. Other drills that is another form of exercise would be lunges and high knees. Basketball also teaches you how to work together and it gives you a sense of family. In kindergarten my child learn how to work with others in a group, and how to express her feelings. The same thing is done in basketball. Of course someone could say that other sports could be considered a way of life as well but basketball is the only sport besides football that every child picks up. In my opinion basketball is the only sport that is less dangerous and there are less injuries compared to football. Basketball is such a wonderful sport, because not only does it teach you how to work with others ,but it also build character.
