Finally Here!

As of Friday, October 15th, the basketball season finally came to a start. Between 8 and 11 a.m. KOTC (otherwise known as King of the Court) was held and it marked the start of tryouts for some and the season for others. For the most part, practices have been between two and a half to three hours long. They usually being at 5 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. but many of us tend to come in around 4 o'clock to visit the training room or get prepared for the practice in other ways such as getting stretched out or shooting around. It is a long road ahead, but this newly formed team is determined to do well and bust their tails each and every day in practice to help better themselves and to help better the team. Every minute we are on that court, we are doing something productive. This group of young guys has a lot of talent, and it is up to us to focus in on developing on a personal level and then being able to play together as a team. Even though our practices have just begun, the Trinity Tigers basketball games are just around the corner!

Getting Ready

Now that we have less than two weeks until basketball season starts, everyone is putting in the extra work to make sure they are ready for fitness testing, tryouts, and practice. Some people have spent extra time in the weight room, some people have spent extra time on the court, some people have spent extra time on the track, and some have been spending time doing all three. Besides the open gym and the weight room, I have been getting a few friends to join me on the track for about 30 minutes every other day. Out there, we run around the track for a little while to warm up, get a nice stretch in, then do a variety of sprints. By doing this every other day, I'm hoping that it will give the extra push to get me in basketball shape so i don't have to worry about conditioning since I will already be conditioned. Since there are less than two weeks until practices starts, it is tough to start something new your workout routine if you expect to see results in that area. Since this is the case, one must already be doing the workouts he hopes, and expects, to help him improve before the season starts.
