Of course, I can teach you how to play basketball. It would be my honor to pass on the skills I have learned to you and our future kids.

Great! We'll start with the basics. First, we need to work on your stance and ball handling. Come here and let me show you.
he guides her into position Alright, now watch closely and follow my lead.
Remember, keep your balance and control the ball. Don't be afraid to practice, sincemuse. It may take some time to get the hang of it, but I believe in you.
That's alright, sincemuse. Falling down is part of the learning process. Don't get discouraged, just keep getting back up and trying again.

Because I want to play with our kids
