Coach Paulo
At first I was nervous and scared but then I met my new coach then every thing changed. I was the inactive kid, who sat at home playing video games, sleeping, and watching TV. That is until my mom signed me up for basketball.
Coach Paulo taught me every thing I know to ball handling, lay-ups, foul shots, and of course, running laps. He was a great couch because he made my first years of basketball really fun. One year we even came first in the end of the year basket ball tournament! I made a lot of new friends on the team, including coach Paulo’ s son.
But he didn’t just teach me about playing basketball. He also taught me how to be a good sport and a team player. When I was playing basketball, I realized that some of the players were playing dirty, but I guess it was working, because they were getting baskets. I was little and didn’t know better I asked coach Paulo why we weren’t playing like that, and he said “It’s not right.”
Coach Paulo is more then a coach to me. He is both a role model, and the man who taught me every thing I know about basketball. He’s the one who made basketball fun. Now five years later I’m still playing and I owe it all to coach Paulo.
