Team Building -- Basketball

by Mathew Galyean

My sophomore year in high school basketball the year started out with team building . Team building is an exercise -- or more like a wake up call for the new year.

It began with stretches and warming up our muscles. And then out the door we went. We lined up and headed for bluff view mountain which is about 3 and half miles away.

While running we our did the Indian man run, where the guy in the back sprints to the front of the line and this is continued until we met our destination. Bluff view is a massive hill with a road leading up to it.

Me and five other players lifted a giant telephone poll onto our shoulders and traversed the hill.

The year before we had just gone to the top, but do outdo ourselves we went another 200 yards with the pole.

We ran back and were told to meet at the track. We finished up with a mile run and dead man carry relay.

Dead man relay? That's where you must carry your teamate 100 yards by yourself. Killer.

Do you need a little more help with your weight?
