Portable Basketball Goal
Portable Basketball Goal at the
Office?
When one of my friends got me a portable basketball
goal to use in my office, I thought that it was a bad idea. Of
course, you see some of those movies with people playing on indoor
basketball goals, shooting baskets from chairs between meetings and
it looks like a lot of fun. But in my case, I knew that the
portable basketball backboard could only get me into trouble – or
so I thought.
In spite of my hesitation, I felt like I should try it anyway. A
friend who got me the portable basketball hoop had shot baskets
with me in my own driveway basketball hoop for several years, and
this present seemed like a very sweet and touching gift from him. I
was definitely getting on in years, and I felt like I should be
able to make it through meeting without shooting any
portablebasketballgoal, so I was pretty sure that it
wouldn't compromise my professionalism. I decided to give it a go
and see what happened.
Portable Basketball Goal and
Productivity
To my surprise, the portable basketball goal actually
increased my productivity. At first, of course, played basketball
too often, but soon I was only shooting when I had time to take a
break. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, because during my
last job, when I had worked near my house, I had loves to go home
and shoot baskets in between appointments. Having a
portablebasketballgoal seemed like a way of taking a
little bit of physical activity with me. I could unwind, relax, and
get some nervous energy out. Then I would be even better prepared
for getting back to work.
One of the funniest things about that portable basketball
goal is that it has made me a few unlikely friends. Many of my
coworkers will come into the office whenever they get a chance and
shoot hoops with me. My boss is fine with this. You see, he has
been starting a campaign to encourage us to form closer bonds
throughout the work place. If the portable basketball goal
is what it takes to accomplish this, he is all for them. He has
even been thinking about installing a portable basketball
goal outside in the courtyard so that we can shoot a few hoops
during lunch. People need a little bit of physical activity if
they're going to work at their best, and a portable basketball
goal offers the chance to get that activity.
