Basketball has been a sport that I find myself most passionate and dedicated to, spending hours each day perfecting my skills. Through my UWC journey, I have developed and grown as a basketball player and a teammate and a key reason for this is pre-season basketball. For this season of sport,  I would like to focus on LO4 (Commitment to CAS Experiences). So far, I have not missed a single session of pre-season basketball despite the early mornings and I hope to keep this up throughout the season. The key reason for my growth and ability to make the varsity team is due to the year-long process of pre-season, in season, and post-season basketball. By participating in this activity, I hope to leave with a greater sense of commitment to the sport as well as embracing the challenges that come with participating. After the first week of the activity, already I have noticed some struggle waking up at 5:30 for morning training, so this area of commitment will definitely be a challenge in the future, but I am determined to keep this attendance up.
