Basketball can be many things; it can be a sport with a competitive nature, a blood pumping past-time or a leisurely event that brings together family and friends.
Cassandra Pettit, a journalism student at Anoka- Ramsey Community College, thinks of it as life style. She is a proud supporter of the Wisconsin Badgers college team and NBA team, the Celtics. She said it all started when she was a player in middle school. Although, she was sucked into the game on a friends behalf; she stuck it out for two years. Soon Pettit realized that she was better of as the boy’s team manager.
As Pettit grew up, her love of basketball grew too. Through the years her love of basketball had been exposed to family and friends. Loved ones saw the light basketball added to her life and joined in on the fun. She says that it is the people she has met though basketball that have touched her life more than the sport itself. Through basketball she has found everlasting friendships and companionships.
Pettit’s boyfriend is her motivation to keeping her hobby alive. She thrives on the passion basketball brings to the lives of players and encourages it by helping her boyfriend improve his skill. Pettit gives credit to her boyfriend for teaching her that dedication and hard work is always worth something you love.
“ I’ll always be a fan for sure,” said Pettit.
Pettit remembers her favorite basketball moment being when her boyfriend broke the all time high school scoring record of 1,000 points. Pettit says the key to success is passion. She says that in order to do well, you need to invest a lot of your time playing the game.
