Mauling

There are days that I feel badly for the basketball ladies.  I am a mauler.  Some weeks are much worse than others.  A few weeks ago I was so bad that I am surprised that someone did not attempt to wear a welding helmet this week. 

When I played soccer,  I made up for my lack of talent with aggressiveness.  You cannot really do that on the court.  I find myself apologizing to someone almost every play.  I try to back off an not guard as closely but, my hand just seems to make contact with them every time. 

Last night was one of the better nights.  I felt good about myself and a few ladies asked if I was practicing between games.  I think one of the major reasons is. we played four on four.  I am able to "see" more.  When you have five on five the court is cluttered and I just cannot react quickly enough to play effectively.
