Hi,
So, I'm eighteen and work full time and am looking for something to buy my beautiful amazing sister who is currently battling breast cancer. I actually need to get her more then one gift because her birthday is Friday as well. I really love my sister and she is the most amazing person I've ever met. She's been there for me through my struggles with my eating disorder, depression, bipolar disoreder and self harm issues. She's the main reason why I battle recovery everyday. Her strength to battle cancer gives me strength to battle my battle. My sister is basically my mother. My real mother wasnt a good mother. My sister is 24 this Friday. She just had a beautiful baby girl in September. She owns and manages her own spa place. She used to cheerlead. She loves watching basketball with her husband whom is her high school sweetheart. She's into girly stuff. She scrap books. She enjoys listening to music. What should I get her for Christmas and her birthday so she knows how much I care for her?
Answer
After Christmas, show her this question. She will not have any doubts about your care for her.
Meanstwhile, however, you can make a time-together package for your sister and her hubs. Get a basket and fill it with munchies -- cookies, microwave popcorn, small candies (M&Ms, etc) and such. Include a fleece throw to cuddle up in. Say this is a go-watch-the-game basket. Include a handmade gift certificate for babysitting. (If your sister would rather, you can go over to their house to babysit your niece in another room while they watch the game.)
For her birthday, give her 3 or 4 gift certificates for you coming over and cooking dinner or doing some cleaning or something like that. These everyday things are often the hardest for someone with an ongoing disease, especially if she's a new mom. If you want, buy a #1Sister necklace or keyring or something to go with the gift certificates.

Answer
defense is a big part of the game, so here are some training tips.
To work on your defense do defensive slides, this is very good and you don't need a lot of space to do it, this sounds a little much but if you have a room that is like 10 feet from wall to wall, defensive slide from one end to another 50 times for a week, then 60, all the way until you get to 100, then you do 100 a day every week.
Another gigantic part of defense is jumping, If you are playing against a team that is on average a foot taller than you, the only way you can stop them from dropping the ball in the basket is defense, and youcan't play defense if they shoot over you so you gotta jump.
To jump high do 50 calf raises a day and 50 squats a day, it will improve your jumping. when that gets easy put some weights in your hands and do them. When you get to jumping high, you can smack anyone dumb enough to try shooting on you.
Another big thing is agility, a lot of people try to trick you by leaving the ball out and when you go for it, they go the other way, now I have great agility so when people try that on me I snag that like stealing candy from a baby. For agility take some tennis balls and go up by a wall, now throw one ball agianst the wall one way, and another ball on the other side, then grab the ball before it hits the ground and throw it back, it sounds easy but when your throwing one, and grabbing the other it can get confusing.
And speed is another big part, if your not fast and you stick tight d, they will go around you, so just gain some speed.
On defense always stay low, cuz you can move quick and also keep your arms out, so when they dribble around you can slide with the and maybe steal the ball.
I hope this helps and if it dosn't

and do this drill for shooting
Here are the steps.
1. Stand 3 feet away from basket.
2. do beef in order
2.a. Balance, make feet shoulder width apart and make sure you feel balanced
2.b. Elbow, make an L shape with you elbow, and hold ball like you are going to shoot, remember to put your ring finger and your index finger (not middle, index finger) on the seams of the ball to get the most rotation.
2.c. Eyes look at the basket, vision the ball going right over the basket and shoot the ball, just so it goes over the front of the rim.
2.d. Follow through, keep your arm in the air and wrist bent until the ball hits the floor.
3. Do this for about 20 min before every game, practice etc., every time you make 10 in a row take a step back, if you miss even once, go back to the beginning.
The point of this drill is to practice perfect, perfect, perfect form. I don;t know what you do, but if you go in there shooting from the free throw line and trying to make 3's right away, you will have an off day, now sure it's normal to have an off few days like your having, but if you practice this drill before, you will never have an off day, I guarantee.
well for dribbleing do this
Take 2 balls and dribble with them, AT THE SAME TIME. Then walk with the 2 balls once you get used to being stationary. Then start running while you dribble with 2 balls, then add these moves in order after you master one move to the other, crossover(cross both balls over from each hand to other) through legs(put both balls between legs), behind back, one high one low, one fast pace and one at slow pace. after you master all of these do these drills with one ball.
Run dribbling and switching hands after every dribble. Then go between your legs, then behind back , through opponents legs. And one thing that held me back from dribbling good was not doing these moves in fun games, i wud be scared ppl wud laugh if i messed up, but then i didn't care and got better that way, and watch the and 1 t.v. show, the have awsome dribbleing moves. and remember the are quick explosive moves, if you not fast enough, you will get the ball stolen, good luck.
