Get into the pickup game
“Asking a game in progress to let you in is the whole nerve of it, and you might be the worst one there. Ten minutes in, nobody remembers you were not always playing.”
The Recipe
- Find the nearest park or court with an informal game on: football, basketball, whatever is running.
- Wait for a break and ask if they need another, saying plainly that you are rusty.
- Play until the game ends, and thank whoever said yes.
