Basketball is like car insurance?




I would like to talk about how car insurance relates to basketball. Now we all know that this could be  like an advertisement to get you guys to look up car insurance... But I want to look at the bigger picture of how investing into your game is like car insurance. So let's talk about it. You see that there are tons of people out there that put time into something that they love and benefit the hard work they put into whatever it is they do. For example, I put a lot of time into posting blogs to help out people who want to know what is going on with my life and to show people my side of the world of basketball. I spend a lot of time gathering information and reading different stories so that I can gain knowledge. But I know that there may be people who will disagree with me. It's okay.
Okay back on topic, car insurance...As a basketball player, I know that my athletic ability is limited. I understand that my time of success on the court wont last forever. So I shouldn't invest my everything into playing basketball. You're probably like, "What the heck?!" But you gotta understand something, Let's say I put my all into sports and one day I get seriously injured to where I can't play... Now what do I have? I invested all my effort, time and money into this sport...For what?
So as you go through your athletic career, develop something else along the way. Make yourself more valuable. Get involved in your school, get involved in your community. Have a backbone in life so that you are still going to make it in life if you seriously injure yourself to where you can't play anymore. Invest into little things, make the most of every opportunity that you have so that life is still satisfying beyond sports. Basketball is like car insurance because if you put your life into little things outside of sports, you will be okay when sports or basketball ends...
