All student-athletes have had the experience of learning something new, either in the classroom or on the court. On the court it is very important to innovate new moves and be able to be a well rounded player to make you more of a threat in games. In today’s society it is very important to follow all the new innovations because you will never know when you will need to use it. For instance the new technology and uprising pieces of technology are becoming a new way of life in which it is important to have an idea of how to use it. When playing basketball or being a good student and friend you are expected to help others when they fall down, be polite even when things do not go your way, and making the right decisions about your own actions which explains good integrity.

Integrity is important because it shows good character and allows other people to respect who you are as a person. Honesty is a characteristic that is very important to all individuals. When playing basketball honesty may not sound like a big factor in the game but it is. When playing in a basketball game it is common for someone to get hurt or be very tired so it is very important that the player is honest about how they feel and communicate it to their coach so they do not hurt themselves or even their team. Outside of basketball it is important to be honest with the people you love about anything that is bothering you or stuff that you need so you can get any of the help you need. Creativity helps create uniqueness for individuals. Either on or off the court people need to put their own twist on things, for example when presenting yourself to people you should dress the way you like or when completing a school project put your own twist on things that resemble who you are.

When it comes to basketball creativity is all about how you play, you had your own twist to moves that get you an easy layup or a good steal. Lastly, hard work is a factor when pursuing anything in life. Through hard work you can be recognized by anyone for what you are doing: completing multiple assignments in school, playing very good defense, pushing yourself to your own limits, and working at your summer job. The characteristics that have been discussed are very important on and off the court because it shows that you are open to change and want to be able to grow as an individual.
