Well I've been off for a little while because iHoops has had some maintinence issues but all in all I was kind of off for the last few days. I went to see an Illinois football game last Saturday then my grandma had here birthday. So I didn't have much time to do anything that day. I have tryouts in about exactly one month so if you would like to post some drills and tips for me to get better(preferably shooting because I'm trying to improve there) please post a comment. Sorry this isn't a long post. I'll have longer ones soon.

Today I didn't do much and I have taken about 4 days off. I'm not proud of it but I just haven't found time. Tommorow I'm going to train insanely. And thanks EPE09, the icing worked. I'll right more next time. I just don't have anything to write about.

This week I trained a lot. My grandpa came over to help me with some catch and shoot drills and other things you need two people for. My dad helped me last night after school. He helped me with some transtition shooting. Today I'm gonna work with ball handling first then do a LONG shooting session. Shooting is really my only weakness. So if you could post some drills that I could use to help me shoot better it would help me a lot. The drill that has helped me with my game that doesn't have to do with shooting or ball handling is squats except you go down so low so you're in a catchers position. And I do it jumping, with weights, and just plain old squats. On the catchers stance ones I do about 15-20. And I'm gonna keep increasing it as I get stronger. I set my alarm clock to six twenty every morning to do my intense 30 minute workout. Thanks for reading.

Sorry for my absence I just couldn't find time to do it. But anyways my past few days have been filled with training and the most crucial part of my game I'm working is my shooting because I'm like Rajon Rondo, not a great shooter. And I don't if you guys heard about what Shaq said. He said they were at some muesem and they were with the president. By they I mean the Celtics. And Obama leans over to Ray Allen and says" Hey Ray" pointing in Rondo's direction"why don't you teach this kid to shoot". And K.G. said the look in his eyes was just devestated. I mean being dissed by the president had to be terrible. And the next night shot terrible. And kind of for the rest of the year. But anyways that's all I have to say. First day of school starting in an hour for me so I have to get ready for school.

Sorry for my absense. I've been having back issues which is making it hard to train so I've taken the last 2 days off. I plan on playing a full day today. This week is going to be hot so I'll be taking a lot of water breaks. Sorry this post is so short but I didn't do much the past 2 days because of my back so the next one will be longer.

Today I didn't have a huge day. Very humid here but got in a good day of training. Illinois is never this hot but it is this year. But I worked on threes, free throws, jumpers, and lay ups. Once again.The lay up drill was the drill of the day today. Helped me the most. Today, though I customized a workout to help every aspect of my game. So I will start it tommorrow. Sorry I don't have that much to say today but it wasn't a huge day for me.

Well I just finished the rest of my basketball day. Here is an overview of my day. I started off my morning with a toaster struedel for breakfast. Than did my work out(which consists of 200 curls, chest presses, sit ups, etc.) Worked on basically every part of my game and got better at my threes. I keep on getting stronger from the outside so it keeps on getting easier to shoot them. Since I'm only 5"2, shooting and ball handling are the key parts of my game. And if I want to make the pros, then I have to keep on doing this everyday. And what I was doing was jump roping for 10 minutes each day, but then I just stopped and never got back and I'm gonna start again tonight. Spread the word-23AirJordan

Today I plan on seeing a movie so my training will be in the morning. Today I plan on doing exactly what I did yesterday plus work on reverse lay ups. I used to be great at them and that was my scoring threat but just too long without practice didn't help. And the thing is, if you want to get better at something, you have to make time to get better. Just like I'm doing. To do that, you have to develop a good work ethic. And that's what I have. Instead, I've got friends that just sit around saying they'll make the pros in whatever sport they want. I mean, all they do is sit around and play X-Box and watch Family Guy all day. And I just mutter to myself, good luck with that. So it takes work. And most people don't realize that. Tell your friends-23AirJordan
