Okay, so today I decided to check out this “facil sport” thing. I’d heard a little about it, and, well, I’m always up for trying something new, especially if it involves getting a bit of exercise.
Getting Started
First, I tried to get a handle on what facil sport even is. Turns out, it’s kind of like a simplified approach to different sports. Think of it as the basic moves, stripped down, so it’s easy for anyone to jump in, regardless of skill level.
My First Attempt
I decided to give it a shot with basketball. Now, I’m no LeBron James, not even close. My experience is limited to pick-up games and shooting around, so I fit the target audience.
I started really basic, just dribbling the ball. I found a smooth bit of concrete, and just focused on getting the feel of the ball bouncing, trying to keep it consistent. Up and down, up and down.
Next, I tried some basic passing. Lucky, My borther was home, so I had a partner. We just tossed the ball back and forth, focusing on chest passes. No fancy stuff, just trying to get the ball to each other accurately and comfortably.
After that, it was time for some shooting practice. I set up, and just practiced that basic shooting form. Focus on follow-through. Most missed, few were made, but that’s not important.
Breaking it Down
- Dribbling: Keep your head up, use your fingertips, and try to maintain a steady rhythm.
- Passing: Aim for the chest, step into the pass, and keep it simple.
- Shooting: Bend your knees, follow through with your shot, and don’t worry too much about making every basket at first.
My Takeaway
I gotta say, facil sport is pretty cool. It takes away the intimidation factor of trying a new sport. It’s all about having fun and getting moving. I felt like I got a decent workout, and it was actually pretty enjoyable. I didn’t feel any pressure to be “good,” I could just focus on the basic movements and get a feel for the sport. I think I’ll try it with other sports. Maybe volleyball next time! I am very appriciate I can record my new finding today.
