Well, I may sound naive because I've never played a team sport, I've only done more individual recreational activities. But I'm hoping to play this winter on the girls freshman basketball team. I love playing sports with my friends and family, I'm very motivated, and whatever I have interest in soon becomes my passion. But the only reason i've been afraid to play is because I'm not an excellent player, and well... I'm afraid i'll get put on the spot and totally screw it up for the whole team, and then have everyone hate me. Or just for the fact that I might not play as well as them. I often heard girls at my Jr. High talk smack about other girls because they couldn't play so well.

Does anyone play team sports?
I REALLY want to do this but I don't want to screw up.
Any advice?
Any help?
Thanks a bunch :]
 
I play basketball and run track, but you should play but you should also practice as much as you can to get better if you suck at it and if you do screw it up one game its not that big of a deal because the other girls are gonna screw up too so they will get over it and I know alot of girls that play basketball and they really suck, so just practice and get better and don't forget to have fun because if your not having fun there is no reason to be out there.
 
Think positive no matter what! If you go through life thinking you're going to screw up, chances are you will. So as an athlete myself, all you do is practice and really dedicate yourself. In order to make the team you must understand the game and all the rules involved in it to succeed. Good luck and i pray everything goes in your favor.
