The One With Bri's Last Day of Basketball

As I am watching a solid Celtics vs. Rockets game, I am reflecting on the fact that Bri's last basketball clinic was today. And she came a long way.


When I first heard that Bri was interested in basketball last fall, I was excited. When we signed up and she wanted to go through with it, it became real. When I had the chance to be one of the assistance coaches for scrimmages - which Bri reluctantly accepted, but was glad I did - I was excited.

It was the first time I had a chance to coach Bri in something...and it was a blast! She developed slowly during the course of the first month, learning the essential skills needed to dribble, shoot, and pass. But as January unfolded and they began playing games, her skills began to grow. She has a strong, natural shot. She is a strong kid as well, which makes her a solid defender. And, she likes to pass.

As she says, she still needs to want the ball, and needs to want to shoot it, but for a first experience, she did great. And I was glad to be a part of it! I can't wait to see what she will be doing next.

GOOD JOB BRI
