Lastly, we put in the circle areas. These are the areas above the free-throw line and the three-point line. We carefully measured these, made hand chalk lines, followed with white paint and a square brush. We were all thrilled with the outcome. It came out great! As I was painting the lines I was thinking about how exact I needed to be. How I needed to follow the dimensions to the very center and be exact. From the exact center point of the hoop, to the exact measurement of the line. Taking it from the dimensions and mapping it out on the court. Everything had to be exact. There are times in our lives when we must be exact. I enjoy working in schools and in leadership where there’s some autonomy. Where there’s some artistic flair in the work we’re doing, style, tone, and plenty of autonomy. This was not the case at this moment. I need to be exact and do exactly what the dimensions read. |
