Are you small? Have you ever experience being the last one to be picked on a game because your height? Well welcome to my world.
Being a guy and just having 5 feet for a height is very tough especially
when your playing basketball.
In college, we used to play basketball during every after class, as young as we are
we have this pride of being the best. We tend to challenge some guys on the court and this would boost our pride when we beat them. But since were 6 one has to sit out and then if your lucky you can substitute on the mid game and guess who always sit the game out? Yes its me. Although I could ranked myself as the 3rd most good playing guy in our group I always end up being the substitute especially when our opponents have the height advantage. Two of my friends doesn't even know how to handle a ball, all they could do is to wait under the ring pass the ball to them and then score but because of their gigantic size (only 5'8',for me their huge lol)they are always on demand. I don't hold a grudge on them because their my friends,but realizing this, it really gets into my mind, that sometimes i don't even bother to play with them anymore. Could you help me? Are my feelings justifiable? Could you enlighten me on my dilemma?

Walk tall, buddy, as many small but great men did in the past. If you are having problems with basketball, try another sport. I know basketball is very entertaining, but I don't dig it, nor millions of others. Many of us go for football or tennis or billiards, games wherein heights don't matter. Sometimes, we have to accept when something is not for us!

But I'm okay now, Sometimes there are things that are just not meant for us.
Thanks again.
