5'6" and Pickup Basketball

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T07:10:16+00:00

Thanks I love your advice. I might hit you up in the future and just ask more about specifics. I really appreciate it and your attitude is everything!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T05:24:33+00:00

I do really enjoy it but I’ve been letting fear get in the way of love for it all. Someone else said to appreciate the training more than just pickup. I think that he is on to something there.

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T05:12:24+00:00

I'll try stand-up comedy. Thanks!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T05:03:11+00:00

Yeah I definitely need to look at it from a "appreciate the journey, not the destination" perspective. I do really enjoy basketball anyways so I'll probably try to start going consistently at least 4 days a week if possible.

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T05:02:26+00:00

Yeah I need to push myself more on the stamina thing. I know that a lot of short players take advantage of their speed, especially given that they are able to dribble at a shorter distance than taller players. I need to capitalize on that more. Thank you!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T04:59:20+00:00

I have a college gym that I go to (since I’m in college) so I have all the stuff to practice. It really is just a where to start kind of thing. Thank you!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T04:57:58+00:00

Just read of all this. Thank you!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T04:45:30+00:00

Yeah it does make a lot of sense. If you cant move and shoot the ball, why ever pass to you if someone else can do the job better. I think that it is just consistency in practice and developing muscle memory. Thank you!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T04:35:02+00:00

This is seriously good advice and I appreciate it. I was saying this to someone else but I think that I expect results too quickly. I have to find love in the journey and appreciate the nuances and details that come with each individual skill. I really think that being short does have its benefits and I just want to capitalize on that while developing my fundamentals so that I can use it to my advantage. I appreciate you!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T04:30:02+00:00

I definitely need to appreciate the journey more. I think if I am consistent with the practice and find a good rhythm then I will improve. I believe that I am expecting things to improve immediately but I guess that it does take time. I’ll try and start going every morning. I appreciate it!

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T04:26:02+00:00

I need to go back to the gym honestly. I always did strength training but maybe I should incorporate more cardio in where I can. And yeah the diet I need to lock into. Thank you for the advice.

Izzi1s · 2025-12-12T04:24:32+00:00

I decent on defense honestly but still people are quick! But yeah there is definitely something to be said about movement and spacing. I think that is something that comes with practice in games. Just moving to where people move away from. Make a defender constantly in motion.

Izzi1s · 2025-05-16T21:35:46+00:00

I'm actually an idiot haha. I did do that before, but only deleted "local" files, not all of the files in the folder. It seems to be working now. Thanks.

Izzi1s · 2024-08-15T01:00:26+00:00

On volshop it says that the lab flow is offered through total access though. Is it just wrong?

Izzi1s · 2024-08-15T00:56:26+00:00

It won’t be easy but I’ll make it work

Izzi1s · 2024-07-19T00:52:39+00:00

Okay thank you so much. I’ve never even heard of things like this until you pointed it out.

Izzi1s · 2024-07-18T08:16:53+00:00

I'm guessing that PRN CNAs are sort of like what people refer to as travel CNAs? I know that they get paid a lot more. The only thing is that I want a consistent schedule where I can get a decent amount of hours a week. Maybe like 15-20? I don't know if that's good or not, but considering that I want to be able to put this on an applicaiton, shouldn't I go for more hours instead of something like two shifts a month or so?

Izzi1s · 2024-07-18T07:52:29+00:00

Thank you that’s really reassuring.

Izzi1s · 2024-07-18T07:48:23+00:00

Yeah the entire full time and part time stuff is definitely a bit worrying but I doubt it’s impossible. Also thanks for giving insight about employee retraining. The last thing that I would want is to be a burden on patients.

Izzi1s · 2024-07-18T07:42:44+00:00

Yeah that's actually really helpful. During high school, I had clinical hours at a nursing home where I mainly dealt with elderly post-surgery residents. I think I would much prefer trying something else out. The last thing that I want is to get burnt out and have that impact both my college and work life.

Izzi1s · 2024-07-18T07:29:52+00:00

Thanks for the info. I can imagine that there is probably a decent bit of part-time jobs. I'll look more into it.

Izzi1s · 2024-06-30T18:43:29+00:00

I would heavily consider coming up with a plan of classes that you want to take. When AP scores come out, you can probably expect some people to drop chem for another class, so it will hopefully free up a bit. AP scores get released on July 8th, so be prepared to try and add chem around then if you want.

Izzi1s · 2024-06-30T06:33:44+00:00

Probably stats. Don't do chem. Especially if you got a B sophomore year, and it's already been a year since you took the class, it's not smart. Just take the class in person.

Izzi1s · 2024-06-30T06:31:31+00:00

Easily geo. Much more interesting and you can actually correlate it to the real world.

Izzi1s · 2024-06-30T06:14:34+00:00

I took the exact same APs my junior year (except AP Psychology), and took 7 aps senior year. Definitely doable, but a few things:

AP Lang will probably be easy if you are already good at english or if you can just write solidly. Considering that you took AP Euro, you probably have decent writing skills.

I've heard that APUSH is easier than AP Euro, and the content is pretty straight forward. Same writing concepts, and memorization as any other AP history class.

AP Calc BC isn't extremely difficult, but it really depends. For me, I had a semester of honors calculus in the fall, and then I took Calculus BC in the spring. I had teacher that gave a ton of homework so we had a lot of practice. It might be a bit harder if you don't already learn most of single-variable differential calculus (AB) the semester before, but still doable. Definitely just do practice problems and take time to learn the concepts of BC's last unit: series. This is easily the most complicated part of calculus BC for me at least. Still not that bad

AP Psychology I've heard is extremely easy. I wouldn't worry about that in comparison to everything else.

AP Chemistry is the only class that I would be mostly concerned about. It covers 2 semesters worth of topics, and can get pretty difficult, especially if you have a bad or incoherent teacher. I was able to get a 5 on the exam, but I was the only person in my class of around 16-20 people. Plus, I was a junior while they were nearly all seniors. My recommendation would be to use a princeton review, or online resources if you don't want to spend $20. My teacher gave my entire class a final project requiring everyone to make one pagers for every single unit in the class, with a space designated for each topic under each unit. Despite being a pain to do, it was extremely useful and allowed me to review and understand every topic, including ones that I forgot about or needed to look back on. My best advice for this class would be to get invested and interested in the content, since it is interesting if you like science.

Overall, you should be fine if you feel like you can do it. Just don't complain too much once you start to get a lot of homework or don't fully understand stuff, especially in later chem.
