I played on an amazing high school basketball team. We were very successful as a team, and in all my years of playing and coaching, I never again experienced the “magic” of a true team.
Even though I have moved around all these years, most of the gals still live in my hometown . At one of our reunions, we decided that it might be a hoot to go to the World Masters Games in Australia.
I told them that I couldn’t go, as have had 11 operations on my knee I have a reconstructed knee, and well, I just can’t play basketball anymore. The Captain called , and she told me…”You don’t go, we don’t go. We are a team”
Like I said…the magic of a true team.
3 years ago, they hired a yoga teacher. Two years ago, they hired a trainer. Last year, they entered a league, where they played against twenty-somethings…and won the whole damn thing. So, I am heading over to support the team.
4 years ago, I started golfing. So, I figured….if I’m gonna go to the games, I want to play in the games!….so, I entered myself in the golf competition.
29,000 people to play and party in Sydney.
I think it’s gonna be some kinda fun!
