Let me allow to tell you all my heart wrenching story of basketball. I'm a student of BS International Relations and also I'm a student of basketball training too (🤭). Being a girl my society, my family, my self esteem don't allow me to play sarcastically in the ground, in the street. So, when I got admission in university fortunately that university is blessed with a gymnasium which allow freely to play, the gymnasium for female candidate. Our gymnasium is our first favourite, first prior place in entire university.

My 1st semester :

After getting enrolled in the university i stater going to gymnasium on daily basis. Even though I have had no class but I started going there and I observed a changed in myself. I started observing myself a player. But unfortunately I was novice at that point and still I'm novice.

Girls were not letting me to touch even :

Other girls of my university always shows off in such perspective, like they were able and play tremendously but i wasn't a good player. So they get annoyed when they see that I'm playing with them in a team.

Called me a game spoiler :

A moment before teaming up, I usually stood there and look at them. What they will do? Will they allow me to play basketball?

Verily they didn't allow me to participate, as being a novice.

YouTube my trainer :

I started watching videos on YouTube and took lots of ideas how should I start playing? How should I control my grip on ball? How should I do dribbling? And even shooting?

YouTube taught me a lot even though practice makes man perfect but still I took lots of initiative from only watching videos too.

Solo practice :

As lots of girl leave the gymnasium at 3 pm so I decided to start playing from 3 onward. My solo practice and YouTube taught me, trained me and made me 1./. Professional.

Faculty matches :

As there in my university every year spring gala / sport gala ceremony happens. According to faculties, team divides and hopefully I got selection in one of them and we all 5 members started doing team practice. As basketball is not solo person game or one man game it's all about good coordination and team work. 3 weeks practice with the team made me 10./. Professional.

1st test match :

Our first test match held with Faculty of management sciences and we won the victory against them. With 7 points.

2nd tests match :

2nd match held between usuludin, Alhamdulilah we got victory with 14 points ( but this match was very tough but with the help of 3 point shot we won the match 🤗)

Final and worst match 😔 :

This was the match I'm still unable to forget but also taught me 100./. Of basketball game 😍.

Actually this was the which took between the same girl I've had clash but unfortunately due to lack of hope and some backup. We accepted it defeat before the match commenced. Still I played my best. Even though I did shot from the point near to half Court but because of steeping fowl of the girl who passed me the ball ( team member) referee did not consider my shot..

In the end we lost by scoring zero backset.

No matter how weak you're, keep practicing
