Basketball takes a toll on your body. Like one time I came home from a game and my body was aching I had taken a beating from the other team. I got hit in the head which made me feel like I had a big headache. I also got  hit in the mouth really hard which made my lips puffy. I also got slammed into my already injured shoulder which made my shoulder hurt a lot more. And from previous games and practices my whole right leg and knee was in so much pain where I couldn't really walk on my leg. My knees will be constantly in pain even when I am not playing which is painful and my ankle will hurt every other day which hurts a lot when the pain does come but it all seems worth it when I see how that pain in practice pays off when we win a game or the awesome moves you do in a game that you wouldn't know be able to do if you didn't push past the pain in practice.
