this and anxiety and not knowing how to do the drills

i went to the practices but never the try outs cause the practices would shatter my esteem enough couldn’t imagine actually trying out

i probably could’ve made it soph year bc parent knew the coach but i talked myself up out of it

How tf do you get an F in French, did you even show up

Never did

we don't really have teams but we had competitions between school houses. never tried out for our basketball comp but I did great at floorball all 3 years in high school and decent in ping pong

I didn't understand french and my teacher was speaking in constant french instead of english as if I understood anything

Ah so you just had a s*** teacher. Hope this didn’t turn you off from the language there are great programs out if you ever wanna learn

Volleyball and baseball

I never tried out for basketball but I think I could’ve made it if I dropped something. At the time I liked playing volleyball more cus I couldn’t really play anywhere else. Basketball I could play any time I wanted. I was too nice at baseball to give that up.

Why all the absences? And how are things going now?

I would hope athletes would go hard always tbh

Obvs but I'm talking bout the braggadocios ones

Ahhh yes the “fake hustle” types

At least most coaches can see through that s***

Varsity as a freshman

My biggest regret is not trying out. I was self conscious about my offensive game but my defense (in all sports) is lockdown. I woulda made it off that alone.

I played every other sport too so I wonder what the mental hurdle keeping me from hooping was

I don’t want to remember those times at all

Damn should’ve done it man

Coaches love a solid defender.

Yea facts Idk what I was thinking. Probably just thought I was too small. I didn’t grow really til college. I was 5’9-11 in HS.

6’2 now

ya i was too scared to do it the first 3 years, only really went because my friend convinced me. when he didnt see me on the 2nd day of tryouts i said i had a dentist appointment

never made the volleyball team 🥺

I wanted nothing to do with my first HS and my second one I was too busy to be invested but I did want to play Basketball

same with not knowing the drills. like we started the drills and everybody knows whats goin on like with the pathing and passes. during the drill, i passed at the wrong time and everybody got mad as s*** like i was ruining their chances on making it

i wrestled for 3 years, started for 2

same with one of my spanish teachers. if i have 0 knowledge of spanish and the teacher only speaks in spanish, how tf am i gonna learn in the first place.

bro literally the same thing, we did this full court run it down and then bounce pass it into a layup or some s***, ig i threw it to bro at the wrong point and he was getting mad and shaking his head and s*** i was like man f*** this lol

s*** sucks cause im decent lol
