I'm so nervous for basketball tryouts, and afraid of being embarrased in the weight

room if i make it.? Hello, I'm a junior in a 4a highscool. I love to play basketball and I play at the rec center occasionally, however the past few weeks I haven't played. This year, I decided I wanted to try out for the basketball team( I've never played on a school team in my life, only played on a team in elementary school.) However, I'm also only 110 pounds, and 5 foot 7 inches, I look really small kind of like a stick to many, and I'm weaker than most freshmen. Unfortunately, the tryouts are in 2 days, and I'll be busy tomorrow to practice at all. Although I haven't played in a while, I feel like I have a better shot, and maybe some better dribbling skills than some of the JV players and I feel like I'm still conditioned enough to play. Also, I want to join basketball so i can start to workout, but If i did make the team, I'd be really embarrased because I would lift the least. How do you think I should approach this situation? Should I even try out for basketball, because of my chances of even making the team and/or my fear in the weight room?
