Ball is Life

Recently my schedule has been crazy, I have had practice 4-5 days a week with workout sessions on the weekends. So I have been really busy and loving all of it, I am doing something that I love and enjoy very much. I have been pushing through the pain, and many other obstacles like for our game against Pano I played with the stomach flu because I never want to let my team down. If I can still run I can play basketball. The only bad thing about this is my knee, now I have been trying to push through it and keep going and I haven't given my knee a chance to rest. I prefer not to tell people or make a big deal about it, as an athlete I one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone complains or makes excuses athletic or not. I still would never want to let my team down and rest out of practices or anything like that since I have made a commitment to them, so honestly the only time that I will be able to rest is August and even then once club season is over I still continue my workouts, so my knee is a major set back. Yet I know that I cannot keep putting my body through this, the pain has intensified, most nights and even some mornings I can barely put pressure or weight on it, the swelling has increased immensely. This is really disappointing as I was heading in the right direction with my recovery and I got the go ahead to play but be cautious. I haven't really told my parents much about this [sorry mom] because of the fact that after a previous discussion, if my knee worsens I am going to have to stop playing basketball :( So like anyone in my situation would I try to deal with it on my own, but even some of my physio is starting to hurt. I wanted to end this blog post on a positive note, so tonight we played Semi, so here is a recap. The first quarter in I'd say the first minute our score was 4-0 for us. Now in the first half I had some really good assists as well as a basket, and alot of jump balls. Now the second half was fun we entered it with a 14 point lead and we got to run through alot of our plays, again I got lots of assists, the last basket and rebounds, and our final score was 43-19 for us.
