Feel real bad right now. I just turned 23 years old and said **** it I'll try out for my community college basketball team well in tryouts they were only going to select 2-3 people tops. They already had 13 on the team that were recruited was what happened. The tryouts was mostly a lot of conditioning stuff and ball handling stuff but conditioning mostly which killed me I guess I wasn't in shape like I thought but ball handling felt weird as well.
Anyway my friend that I use to kill 1on1 and played in leauges with and was basically the go to guy a few years back really improved while I guess I could of conditoned myself and practiced more instead of playing pickup 5-5 ball. See what my friend did was he would do a lot of conditioning ball handling and shooting drills. I guess he worked out some too but nothing crazy. He reallly doesn't play much pickup ball but plays in a rec leauge.
Im happy for him that he made the team because I feel hes good. But I guess you guys already know how i feel by now no not jealous but its more like Jordan when he got cut. I felt like I can definatly play with those guys if im in shape and my ball handling was sharper but im afraid if i work hard and bust my *** that its all going to be a waste next tryout.
By the way my friend went to some of the colleges open gyms and got to play with players on the team sometimes coaches were there sometimes they werent but i guess they knew him.
I feel like im not getting any younger but still feel young lol. But I just feel like **** man I should of busted my *** the right way did drills and all that. Instead of coming in like maybe I'll make it.
By the way i never graduated high school but it said people with ged's could try out. I wonder if that messed me up but im guessing it didn't. Anyways my idea is to bust my *** in college for a year getting good grades. And then transfering to a different college that has a JV team which plays community colleges and it has a varsity team that plays Division schools. If I was to make the JV team i could see myself killing the team that didnt pick me. Or even more making the higher level team because of work ethic. What do you guys think im sorry it was so long I just need some good advice? Plus yeah im pissed now and just wanted to talk to someone.
