"the gym"

My personal favorite of all the things the Student Recreational Center provides are the multiple gyms for basketball they have. All my life I played basketball and never second guessed if it was the right sport for me. I love the fact that even though I'm not playing for an actual team anymore, I can still get out and run up and down the court with people who know how to play the game and get a feel for what I love. The part that's hard is it feeling like it's not enough. I love the game so much and never want to steer away from it, but it seems the feeling I once had isn't the same as what I get from playing up there. Yes you can still get a victory and play and play and play all you want, but what is the real goal? true, there are the Intramural that you have a real season and play for a championship, but outside Arizona State who would know of my success? I'm coming from being a three peat region champion and a state championship throughout high school, now it feels like I'm settling and it doesn't sit with me well and I don't know exactly what to do to get the feeling I once had back because it seems like I'm at a lost for that feeling right now. Just having talk in the gym with other players and hearing the constant complaint that we all have the same idea of how we want it to go, but if we never all speak up as one, how will it ever change. Talking to older students who say it's just how it is almost makes me feel hopeless for it to ever change to how we know we want it but nobody will speak out to say it.
