Friday Fun: He’s
Certainly Got The Ball(s) For It
You can
tell just by looking at him: he is an expert ball handler. It’s in the way he holds them; the ease with
which he manipulates them.
He has
good hands.
You
marvel at the way he grasps the goods.
Such a firm, sure grip. And the
way he carries and cradles them.
It’s
magical, captivating; like a great wrestler warming up for the big match. He’s playing by himself, for now, just to get
the juices flowing, but you know bigger
things are to come.
There’s
something about him that tells you he’s scored more than a few points in his
time. He’s at the peak of his game, and his assets as a player are as blatant
as his obvious skills.
"Put him
in, Coach." He’s the man to take the situation in hand.
Maybe
he’d be up for a pick-up game?
You never know unless you ask. You could take
advantage of his expertise, maybe get a few pointers. You know, learn a thing or two.
A quick
match might be just the thing to light your fire. Going at it, one on one, man to man.
It gets your blood boiling just thinking about it. Something about all that testosterone
displayed on the court or field, not unlike warriors going head to head.
Only in
this case, you’re both the victors, because in the end, everybody wins.
So, approach him. Sure, you don’t know him from Adam, but that is part of the thrill of it; playing with a total stranger.
And who knows? You two get the ball rolling, maybe others who walk by will want to join in. You'd be open to that. The more the merrier.
So, do
as Nike constantly tells you, “just do it”. Take
this dude on! You got the balls for it.
Go for it. It will do you both a world of good.
And
when the opportunity arises, don’t hesitate.
You’re an old pro; on the court, the field, or wherever men get together to get hot and sweaty.
And proper
ball handling?
Why, it’s
all a part of the game.
Have a
great weekend.
Wishing
you all the very best…
