Why should you start playing basketball? This was a question that I was asked recently and I might add it when it came to responding, I realised it was indeed a good question’.
Basketball is an excellent sports code to take up because first of all it is a fun and competitive sport which allows each participant to play and socialize with other who have the same interest. This active and competitive sport also helps to exercise your body and improve not only ball handling skills, but also hand and eye coordination.
As a player myself, I recommend playing basketball because it is good exercise and if you haven't played yet it is something new to do because it will give you something to do other than sitting in front of the t.v. playing Minecraft (said from personal experience).
When playing basketball you need to have good endurance and stamina to keep up with other players in the game as you will often need to sprint across the court to the oppositions to guard your hoop. Training is an essential part of this sport to build endurance which is necessary for your role in the team and to support other team players.
While playing basketball is definitely fun, and incr
eases opportunities to be part of a group with similar if not the same interests, one of the benefits I have noticed apart from keeping fit and healthy is the improvement in my breathing. Through the training programme I have found it most beneficial in making me more conscious of the way I breathe and using my diaphragm properly when breathing, which is particularly important because I am an asthmatic.
Playing basketball can be fun playing because it improves social skills and can let you get to know other people. As fun as basketball it is also beneficial for keeping fit and healthy, as an asthmatic it has helped my body and lungs to breathe prior to the training given to me through basketball. So really what i’m trying to say is that if you already haven't you should try playing basketball and you never really know, maybe you’ll like it.
Basketball, I highly recommend you give it a go!
