    Hey Dakota, so I’m a 12 yr old and I just started getting serious abt basketball, and I got cut this year for 7th grade, so that motivated me now to get better, and I got way better. I got way more athletic since tryouts, and since the beginning of the year, and Im trying to surround myself with basketball in every aspect of my life. Now Im beating people that made the team at this gym I go to for basketball and workouts,Ik that doesn’t mean anything but Im building myself up from that, I’m going to the gym everyday now for a couple weeks ever since I started getting serious to work on my athleticism, and basketball. Im trying out for my first auu team in around 10 days, and people who did that team saying that I have a great chance of making it, but that doesn’t mean anything either, and I just stumbled across your channel, and Im gonna start trying to use some things that you do. Im hoping to have a career in basketball, and trying to make myself go d1, Ik it sounds like it’s out of a comic book and everything, but you got any advice for me to help on my journey? (Also Ik you prob don’t care bout this but I’ll tell u if I did make the team.)
