dunk

There was a brief time in my youth (21) when I was able to dunk a basketball. Now that I’m older (35) I’d like to be able to do this again.

I’m 5’8”. I always dream of dunking, really. I have very good dreams of me being on the court during a fastbreak, and BOOM!!! I throw one down. It has actually always been a dream until recently. I could always dunk air. That is dunk without the ball. I could windmill and 360 and slam hard on the rim, but could never do it with the ball in hand. It was a mental thing. Well this past weekend a friend of mine we were in a pick up game and he jus lobbed the ball up. By the time I realized how high up I was I jus threw it down. I was so shocked at myself I just started smiling really hard. And now I wanna take on a workout training program to really improve my jump. Jus work at it. It really is rewarding and worth the two months of dedication.

I have never dunked a basketball on a ten foot hoop. I am 6’ tall, I should be able to do that.

the day that i do this is either the day that i check off my growing goal or its going to take some intense fitness action…but i really want to dunk so im willing to do what it takes….

i’m too short.
