Jamie Lawrence is a junior and a member of the girls basketball team.

Basketball is a physically demanding sport.  This sport requires tremendous amounts of training and conditioning, and even the better players have weaknesses.  

“I wish to get better at dribbling and having more confident on the court,” said Lawrence.  

e qualities that make a good player, are what other may really try and focus on. Some people think it takes skill and dedication, while that is a big part of it,

Lawrence thinks otherwise. She says, “ Being a team player is what I consider to make someone a good player.” so its not important the amount of skill one possesses its the fact that in the face of a challenge that they remain a team player and stay cheerful.

One key aspect of the game is not winning it is simply having fun at least in the eyes of Lawrence this is true she believes that if an individual is a team player then they will enjoy themselves on the court and have a good game regardless of the outcome.

Playing basketball provides quite the bond it’s more than just a team” I like the family we have.” says lawrence basketball provides long lasting friendships and it gives a sense of acceptance although “ winning is always fun too.” says lawrence most people find that winning is a good feeling and it hasn’t been disproven yet.

With any sport there will always be matches and rivals “ I am looking forward to the cal game and also the carmichaels game” Says lawrence a good rivalry or championship match will always provide an extra dose of adrenaline and fuel our team to victory matches may sometimes difficult to make to do to inconvenience though.
with playing this sport there are goals to accomplish such as improving you skills but lawrence has stated this “ I wish to become a better person and more of a team player” she wishes to improve on her personal traits rather than physical skill which is what most players need to focus on regardless of talent if you are not a team player then odds are you will not get too much play time.
