As much as Basketball is a team sport, it also requires a certain level of individuality and it can also be very beginner friendly. One can be a team player but if they are not physically fit, strategic, creative, deciplined and consistent enough they are only dragging the team down with them. As a complete beginner in coding, being physically fit helps me stay motivated to complete my daily coding challenges in a good mood because of the dopamine. Certain challenges can seem easy to achieve only to start coding and realize that the results are not as easy to attain, and at some point I get stuck due to bugs or errors that I cannot seem to solve on my own before asking for help. In situations like this I learned that things like researching before a challenge, whiteboarding and pseudocoding come in handy. Coding offers room for one to be creative about their solution while still getting the required results by using what one had already learned and research about how they can execute an idea they have. Lastly, as fun and exciting coding is, it can also be quite depressing when one cannot find solutions, understand a certain concept or even the time one has to spend solving certain challenges,and that can lead to one experiencing a burnout. This is where discipline and consistancy comes in. When I do not feel like doing my work I take a step back to remind myself that only me being consistent will get me out of this dilemma and giving up will not. And also the fact that I made a commitment to myself and I have to keep it.
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, opposing one another on a rectangular court, compete with the primary objective of shooting a basketball (approximately 9.4 inches (24 cm) in diameter) through the defender's hoop (a basket 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter mounted 10 feet (3.048 m) high to a backboard at each end of the court), while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. A field goal is worth two points, unless made from behind the three-point line, when it is worth three.
