I am a freshman. I am 5'9" 235 lbs. (i play line in football) and basketball tryouts are coming up. I am torn between whether or not i want to try out. I don't have a great shot, but can get the ball in the basket, lack hops, but can box out well, and, since i played football, am in relatively good shape for someone my weight and height. I also have solid lower body strength but lack upper body strength. Based on this, do you think I should tryout or no? Our freshmen team (at least those who attended conditioning. I couldnt because i had football.) is relatively short so that means id be at like F/C or sumthing.

Definitely!
In my opinion, joining teams or groups in high school is a great idea. When I was in HS (long ago) I played tennis, basketball and soccer. The friends I made on those teams were my best and closest. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain!
If you give it your all, you'll do great! Good luck!

Looks are not a huge deal. Nothing sexier than a man with a best feel of humour. If she has the ideal character, she'll be competent to get beyond any hierarchy within the appears division and cross out with you... that's presuming she is one million) watching for a boyfriend and a pair of) sees you as boyfriend fabric. If she is not watching for a boyfriend, or considers you boyfriend fabric, then pursuing her would make the concern sticky and he or she might begin performing bloodless toward you- chiefly seeing that she's already stated no (regardless that that was once a even as in the past!). I realize you are saying that is love- and now not a overwhelm- however generally those matters suppose the identical. If she turns round and rejects you factor clean- you can be left loving any person who does not love you again... which might intent you to resent her, even supposing it is just a bit. My recommendation could be is to quit constructing this up. Stop pondering you like her, and begin pondering you wish to get to understand her higher. Use humour and a laugh to win her over- get her giggling at your jokes. Get it in order that while she sees you, you each realize that she is aware of you can make her snicker. Why now not sit down her down and ask her for her possess recommendation in this, i.e. "Man, you obtained to support me. I fairly like this lady and I do not understand how to invite her out." And guage her response/reaction. Then begin speaking approximately her, "So what approximately you? You going to get your self a boyfriend?" And see what she says. Maybe she is not watching (institution paintings/uni is also extra main and so forth). Just investigate the concern out, now not make a huge deal out of this and do not forget... if she's interested, she's interested, if she aint, she aint. Keep a groovy head and you can be excellent both method :-) If there's a danger, simply cross forward ask her out. Be spontaneous. "Lets cross capture that ." or discover out her favorite meals, and say "Lets cross out for dinner this night at that eating place!" Good good fortune, mate.

Best advice I can give you. Go to your coach or Physical Education Department , meet with a Counselor there. Discuss this with him/her. They usually are pretty smart in finding the right way for you. Good luck.

if your the tallest person i think you have a good chance but i cant really tell ya. what you can do is go to the gym and work on your fundamentals(shooting,dribbling, moves under the basket,.....), work hard, have a good attitude and you will get there. ALWAYS BUST YOUR BUTT AT PRACTICE and it will help

wow
a 5'9 center ?
why not try out is the question
if you don't like it you can always drop it and you don't want to regret not trying out
you'll beat new friends and people
though if you do make it into the nba, don't expect to play center or foward ;)
good luck
