Am a top lover of sports | The World of Sports |
Hey why aren't you engaging in sports? Is it because non of them suits your taste? Or is it because you aren't physically fit to the kind of sport you like? Sport is any activity that uses physical exertion or skills competitively under a set of rules that is not based on aesthetics. Alot of steemians here have participated in sports in one way or the other. @hive-199189 thanks for still organizing this incredible contest.
My life revolves around sports |
|---|
Since when I was less than 10 years I have always had passion for combat sports, sports which includes boxing, taekwondo, karate and wrestling, I always fight then and my younger brother and I always do training within ourselves at home. I always beat him up even when he works so hard to beat me in our next fight, am three years older than him anyway but that doesn't really matter, currently I think he's a little bit taller than me.
I have always told myself to be well equipped when it comes to self-defense because I don't know what can happen to me or happen around me in the next minute. I always watch karate movies and wrestling shows then and I train myself alot because of my passion. I normally play football once in a while then but I have always loved combat sports more. I love it till now and I workout almost everyday to keep my body very fit and capable of self-defense when necessary.
I discovered am a runner |
|---|
When I got to junior high school I discovered that I was doing well in race, my school was preparing for an inter-house sports race in another school that invited us to come and run with other schools that day after they have finished their own inter-house sports. I started training for this event and I remember the 3rd time I ran with my classmates in school, I ran faster than the 5 of them and I was so surprised about, gradually I became more popular in the school.
I started training more with my siblings at home and I know they aren't as fast as me so I will tell them to stay ahead of me while I will stay far from them at their back and they won me at the first time so we did it again the next time and I ran faster than them, they got so surprised and I improved alot because of this, at class 9 I became the third faster runner in my school, is only two of my seniors that can run faster than me.
I tried football too |
|---|
I left junior high school and started developing more passion for football in senior high school, since most of my friends then are going I striking I decided to focus more of my attention in defence, I was a very smart and active defender, the second faster runner in my team and my speed was helping my team alot. Each time alot of us are in the opponents posts while trying to score them, leaving only one defender and oir goalkeeper behind and they try to give us a counter attack, running towards our goalpost will the ball.
I always run towards our goalpost very fast to get the ball from our opposing striker and get the ball from him. Our class coach has always told me to go to our opponents post when necessary because I have speed to return to our goalpost on time.
In the month of August my church young boys had a football tournament with many other catholic churches and I didn't play one much, as the president I was acting as their assistant coach and we lost in the quarter-finals due to poor performance of he referring but till now I always regret while I didn't participate in the tournament, I clearly saw that the team need my speed and fit body.
Basketball comes after steemit |
|---|
I finished high school and developed love for basketball all of a sudden, damm! That sport is so exciting and cool, I watched a Chinese basketball seasonal animation and immediately I was done watching all episodes I started loving this sport and I was opportuned to play basketball in 2022 October for the first time in my entire life but the basketball court is very far from my home and I had to stop for one year until earlier this year I discovered that my ex-classmates in high school now love basketball too and we started playing together on the street.

The basketball court close to us is very bad and the government has refused to repair and arrange it that's why we started balling in the streets. I love sports alot and I also want to be a professional Athlete after my studies in the university. I have been watching basketball tutorial videos on Instagram and YouTube, each time I go out to ball with my friends I try my best to display those skills with them but it doesn't turn out successful all the time because of lack of practice.
With time I will be very active and perfect with this sport, I have big plans for this sport and all I need is long life, good health, finance and time. I can jump very high and it always reminds me of the first day I played volleyball in junior high school, I was really useful to my temporary teammates that day and I was like Damn volleyball is also and interesting sport. Am the kind of guy who's willing to try all the sports in the world because of my passion for sports.
OMG this post is full of alot of quality bro, I really enjoyed reading it and it felt as if you were saying everything right in front of my face. I really love reading posts like this in steemit. Sport is something I also engage in especially that of football, alot of us here in Nigeria loves playing football too, though there are also basketball players and our female basketball players who represent Nigeria are very talented and hardworking.
I started playing football when I was in primary school and I always want to score goals each time I play football with my peers. You remember that tournament we did in August while you were our assistant coach right? I tried my best to score goals but the pressure was too much and I couldn't score one goal throughout the tournament. I was so frustrated about that but I believe I will do more better next time.
As for basketball I played it in junior secondary and I must confess that the sport is very amazing, my problem then was that the ball was too big for my little hands to handle. I believe I will improve a bit in that sport now. Alot of boys are beginning to develop love for basketball these days and is really impressive. I think it will be more amazing if you create an official basketball team someday, am sure you will do that when you get enough time and money.
There are alot of basketball coaches I believe are out there and they will help you and your upcoming team alot. The real life photos is the second thing that made your post to have alot of quality bro, especially the first image with you running with the basketball, so cool. I might participate in this contest as well.

Happy new month bro, I really love this comment of yours, is also as good as the way you said my post is.
Alot of people love football as is known as one of the most popular sport in the entire world. I also appreciate the fact that you took football very serious and as for that August tournament, we expected you to do more but things didn't fully work out.
Am sure you will perform very well next time, you felt very bad and I must tell you to cheer up and work harder, though it has ended long ago and I believe you are calm.
Basketball is an amazing sport, alot of people like it and alot of people don't like it as well but I myself love it and it has thought me alot. Even when I stopped playing it for one year, the ball was looking very big in my hands when I finally got access to it again.

You know I've been wondering why a lot of people around me prefer football most.
It's almost like every sport ceases to exist once any directorate intends to host sports competitions.
I am a sportswoman as well and would love to see more inclusivity in our sports.
It feels good to see that someone cherishes another game besides football.
There is hope that someday, when someone mentions sport, the mind would think of other sports as well without limiting itself to football.
I enjoyed reading this post.

Football is a very popular sport and it has drawn the attention of so many people especially Africans. Here in Nigeria basketball isn't very popular that's why you will see more football fields than basketball courts in the streets. Am so excited to hear you are a sportswoman.
I wish you good luck in this contest bro, I really like the way you decided to arrange your post for this contest and I believe the contest organizer doesn't expect an entry as quality as this in his contest lol 😆. Wow I just checked and discovered that this post is more than 800 words bro, are you for free? I can see you are a great lover of sports. Our steemit sportsman ✊🙌
Being the third fastest runner in the entire school is a big achievement bro. It takes alot of training and strength to be a fast runner, you just made me to remember Usien Bolt who was the faster runner in the world, speed is a very essential thing and I believe you will go far in life. Competitions isn't easy at all because it comes with alot of hatred and pressure.
I know very well that you are so good in March past as well but I noticed that the reason you didn't include it in this post is because marching isn't a sport at all but I must say that you will also be very good in the military bro, I will be happy to hear that you are a soldier someday, lol. Incredible Young Man Keep it up.
