I’m getting ready for the basketball tournament in our school. I’m so excited. The coach comes to me and sits on the table. We’re talking about what we should be doing for the game. He is telling the plays I should do and what position I should play. He tells me to get ready because it will be a tough game.

It is a windy day and lots people come to watch and I can see the other team practising from a distance from where we are sitting. The coach tells me that they’re the best team in the tournament. Trees were blowing and lots of  kids and adults came. I am feeling the basketball and talking to myself that I am ready. I hear lots of people cheering and screaming peoples names. The coach tells me if I’m nervous and says that everybody thats hear is nervous but excited. The coach told me and the other players this the hardest test we will have in the tournament but we are the hardest test for them, the coach said it’s like the Best team vs the Best team. “Put your shoes on and get changed because the game is about to start.”, The coach said. I’m getting ready but the game is now starting. I just got changed and now we’re starting. “Play your best son, do it.”, The coach said. “Thanks coach.”, I replied.
