From complete beginner to first grading in Basketball

I had zero athletic background when I started Basketball. First class I was completely lost — everyone seemed to know the language of floor spacing and I didn't. My euro step was nonexistent. I nearly didn't go back.

I did go back. And the first grading 15 months later was one of the proudest moments I've had in sport. team chemistry in a pickup game had become natural by that point, which I wouldn't have believed at week one. height disadvantage in some positions is still something I work on. But it no longer feels like an obstacle — it feels like the game.
