Pulling an "Ellie" — sisters in spain

After I finish basketball practice I usually want to keep playing for awhile. When I started I just wanted to do one basketball drill but then I kept doing more drills, and before I knew it I had been playing for 4 hours. I kept working because it made me feel proud of myself. Playing for four hours a day made me feel more confident in basketball. My dad calls this “Pulling an Ellie”. Originally the name was “Pulling a Seppi” because someone on my soccer team, Seppi, worked so hard and played soccer so much that he got REALLY good. But after I started working that hard Dad changed the name.
