Personal Inspiration
Personal Interest
I have always loved basketball. When i was 6 or 7 years old, I played football. However, at the age of 10, I developed a strong interest in basketball. I became captivated by the sport while watching games and was particularly impressed by my favorite team, Sigal Prishtina. I attended their games and told myself that I wanted to be a professional basketball player like Dardan Berisha, Wilson, Davis and Janjeva.
My beginnings in basketball
I started playing for Golden Basket, but at first, I didn´t know much about the game. My coach encouraged me, saying that I would become a better player. Over time, I improved-not exceptionally, but I was making progress. One day, my coach publicly criticized me, saying I was a bad player and that I would never succeed. This motivated me to leave the team and train on my own.
Skills Improvement & Injury
I dedicated a year to self-training and my skills improved significantly. Unfortunately, I then injured my finger and broke a tendon. I didn´t inform my parents about this injury for two months. When finally did they took me to the hospital, where the doctor advised that I needed surgery and wouldn´t be able to play basketball for a year. After that, I took a break for a year, but now I am ready to start palying again at Sigal Prishtina.
