Preparation in the Off-Season

When talking about high school sports, “season” is a word used often. There is an on-season, where athletes are expected to perform their best, and there is an off-season where the athletes have to use their 3 seasons to prepare for their sport. Whether it be football, or tennis, athletes have to stay in shape in preparation for the on-season. Football player Nate Sink has a different way of staying in shape for his sport. That is to play another competitive sport, intramural basketball.

“I play football in the fall,” Sink said. “Intramural is a great way to keep my body in shape and its something to look forward to on a Sunday night.”

Nate has been playing competitive basketball all his life up until he fell in love with football freshman year of high school. But the love for basketball never disappeared and it shows.

“As much as I love football, basketball was my first love,” Sink said. “Intramural basketball has kept me playing basketball and on top of that, helped me prepare for the football season.”

Nate loves playing with his friends above all. Whenever the football season comes to an end, Nate can always rely on playing basketball with all of his football teammates.

“My favorite part is playing with the boys,” Sink said. “We all come out here together each year, try to get the W and have a good time.”

These last few Sundays in the beginning of March are some of the last Nate and his football teammates are going to compete and have fun on the court together. Nate has played intramural basketball all 4 years of high school with the same group of guys. When Nate was making his plans for college next year, he made sure there was somewhere he could hoop and continue playing the game he has played all his life.
