Undergraduate / elaborating on basketball as an extra curricular activity-commonapp [2]

I feel elated whenever I participate in the game of basketball. I originally got involved in this activity just because it was fun. And now I don't only feel gleeful but have also accrued a sense of fortitude whenever competing .The crux of being a good basketball player, as I learnt during my 4 years of high school, is hardwork in addition to discipline. With these virtues I've established myself into a rare gem, by combining active sports and academics to achieve outstanding prowess. I led the school as captain of the basketball team in winning the regional sprite basketball competition on 3 consecutive occasions. Basketball has helped me deal with my innate problem of complacency and apportioning of blame. Rather than rushing, I have learnt-from being the captain of the school team, to face adversity with pragmatism.

When I play, I'm fully immersed in one thought: I must win. Knowing very well that there is more to learn both morally and play-wise, I yearn to play in college. Basketball has been of great benefit to me.
