Basketball Drills at Sixty Beat Me Fair

client sixty. former point guard. footwork still perfect. i demonstrated a crossover and my knees filed a complaint. personal training is humility with a whistle. aging clients teach you form outlasts flash. equipment shed smelled like wet grass and old tape. i counted cones twice because anxiety loves repetition. parents arrived early and pretended not to watch their kids warm up. i remember that hunger. practice ended with a team cheer that was off-key and sincere. the field lights buzzed like they always do right before they fully turn on. the drive home had a drive-through line i skipped because my stomach wanted something real. i reheated rice and thought about the kid who apologized for missing a pass he should not have caught anyway. coaching is correcting shame as much as technique. my phone buzzed with a parent question i will answer after i shower.

We ran suicides. He won. I stretched his hips and called it even.

The story continues in the body after the words stop. Shoulders lower, or they do not. Tomorrow arrives with its own list. I am still here, which is not nothing.

I do not need a moral. I need an honest next step. Sometimes that is rest. Sometimes it is showing up again before you feel ready.
