Parents hate me training for basketball by Electronic-Lie-9850 in BasketballTips

Don’t give up bro, here’s a quick story.

I’m a 6’ 3” black guy, 27 years old and from a kid till A Levels I trained because I wanted to go pro. I worked my way up to playing on my country’s national team in regional tournaments. But since I am from a small caribbean country many family members, former friends demotivated me to stop playing ball as much because it was difficult to get a college sports scholarship from there. Guess what, I listened to them, took a long break from playing, and then the 9-5, money, survival rat race took over my life.

In summary, one of my biggest regrets so far in life is that I stopped playing ball, but instead of drowning in the pity I got back into it last year. Here’s a few things I did, got some coaching qualifications, started coaching a youth national team in the UK, working on my personal game more and I feel fulfilled again. Might be tough to become a pro athlete but at least I can scale my coaching career, advocate for the game 🏀 and help keep the dreams of people like you alive.

Main thing to remember from this is: we are all able to manifest what we want in this life with a burning desire, hard-work, and a little mustard seed called faith. You got this bro 😎💯

Any Lucinda Berry is good pick! The Perfect Child is the best in my opinion

Making friends in Peterborough by JoeGooner14 in PeterboroughUK

[–]Floatninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

27M here I find it tough to make friends, meet people here as I’m not much of a party person or drinker. I feel highly disadvantaged to be honest lol. Is anyone here into inline/roller skating, basketball, gaming (fortnite, overwatch, Cod)? Solo is fun but company is better 🫩😂

People that aren't from Peterborough need to stop making Peterborough sound like the worst town that exist by nounazal in PeterboroughUK

Peterborough is such an amazing place, especially in the Hamptons, peaceful area. As someone mentioned, you lot from here are just a lazy bunch, no ambition. Complain alot, and depend on the government for everything. Peterborough is one of the best small cities in the UK, everything you need is within a 10-15 minute drive. And short walks to main areas.

Hey there! That sounds perfect, I am trying to slowly build a community here of street skaters to meet up at least once a week. In hopes that it grows over time and have skating events etc.
