Kids need to remind their parents that they are kids and are suppose to be enjoying this time in their life. Sports should be seasonal and not year round. Play it to have fun and enjoy each and every minute of it. If you have the talent to carry it to the next level then by all means pursue it with passion and desire. If you are not looking at the next level, then try you best, play hard as you possibly can, hustle for every loose ball, and leave the floor with a smile, win or lose. In the eyes of each person in the gym, fan or visitor, you'll be looked at as a winner. Just don't let anyone force you into doing something you don't have the desire to do. If you're in it to please your parents, then you'll only have heartache. Remember....Have Fun...You have the rest of your lives to have worries....Please don't take this the wrong way...Having fun while playing any sports does not mean to goof off...You must take it serious because you will have players on your team that will depend on you to do you best....Practice hard, and play hard...You can do that and also have fun at it..
