If we talk about sports today, everyone’s mind immediately goes to football. Gone were the days when no one really cared about all these leagues, or so I think. But today, and even at this moment, almost everyone is talking about who they think will win this or that league and it has grown to become a normal thing.
It’s more like we all changed in a second. These days, even ladies watch football and with those of us that can’t watch, we make sure to follow news and updates, all thanks to Chelsea football club and their fans. I didn’t use to like football but I started to because anytime my friends or the people around me met, they were obviously going to have a conversation around it and I didn’t want to be the only one left in the dark.
However, I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of football. I just love to keep myself updated and busy.😅 But generally, I love sports and anything that would get me out of my room and running about. Over the years, one sport I’ve grown to love so much is basketball. Growing up, we didn’t really have a basketball court in my neighbourhood unlike how there’s so many around these days. I only got to start learning how to play when I got to junior high. My school was growing and money was coming in. So, they decided to invest in sports to help the students keep fit.
From junior high through to senior high and university, I’ve learnt to play and have played basketball. I just can’t seem to get enough of it and the funny part of it all is the fact that people find it hard to believe it when I tell them I love basketball. Especially with my busy life, people find it hard that i still make time to play. Everyone just assumes we ladies are all about only makeup , bags and heels. But then, ladies are also capable of doing anything they wish to do be it in the field of sports or something else.
Unfortunately and fortunately, I’m no more in school and I also had to change locations due to work purposes. In the community where I find myself now, even though we have a basketball court, it’s quite far from where I live. I’d say the only time I get to go to the court is when I go for my evening runs which isn’t quite frequent these days due to my busy schedule.
But, this doesn’t prevent me from loving basketball. I still manage to follow news and updates related to basketball and my favourite NBA teams. It’s funny how I can stay up late sometimes just to watch the games. I’m sure football fans do same so I guess it’s not a bad thing at all.😂 In the future, I look forward to learning more and following other different sports which I think would be a great addition to the list of things I love to do. Being a curious person, I’m sure it would turn our great. I'm not addicted to sports, I'm just in a committed relationship with them.
