When we learn to try new things, especially things outside our comfort zone, we expand and grow as individuals. This is a story about a young girl who thinks her whole world is one thing, basketball. Until, something completely outside her element comes along and she pivots to learn things about herself she never imagined. When we teach our younger generation that new things are okay, and being uncomfortable is okay, they learn that they can do hard things while learning resilience.
