Andrew Steele Basketball Prodigy

Trying to figure out exactly what it's like to be an athlete is really hard for people that aren't athletes. That's why we have interviewed Andrew Steele, an uprising basketball prodigy. "I play basketball and I used to play baseball" just one of his many famous quotes. In any sport, moments are created and remembered for the rest of your life. When asked what the biggest sporting moment he was a part of, he said "The biggest moment in sports I have been a part of was winning the basketball championship in recreational basketball". All legends start somewhere. Basketball is a tough sport. People put the health of their bodies on the line for the game, and unfortunately, injuries do occur. "Yeah, I tore a ligament in my right ankle. I was out for three months" says Andrew. That is just absolutely touching. Being able to heal that injury and bounce back to continue to do what you love is just incredible. Being in the big game is an absolutely different story. We asked Andrew what it feels like to score in a big game and he said "It feels good because your helping your team win, and the crowd gets out of control when you score." The only way to experience it is to be a part of it. The final question o Andrew was if he was ever in the zone. He said "Yeah, one game I had 30 points and I was just hitting shot after shot after shot. It felt like it was just me and my team on in that building. No outside distractions." The level of focus when somebody is in the zone is outstanding. Athletes can block out anything and everything from the outside world. The only thing that means anything to them is what is going on in the game at that moment. Andrew Steele is a god.
