“What’s good, thanks for taking the time to read my monthly journal, it’s been a long summer for me, I been doing nothing but working on my game and trying to get stronger as well as build up my endurance. All I kept thinking about is the disappointing end to my Rockland career, and I wanted to work hard this summer so it will not repeat, but first I had to take care of a little nagging injury that was bothering me the whole season, which was later diagnose as a “torn cartilage.” I later received surgery and missed a couple of weeks. Nevertheless, I always keep a positive attitude about situations such as this, because I know, I’ll be rewarded in the near future.
After letting my leg heal, I was like a warrior going to the gym about 5 times a week, lifting weights, playing ball for hours, running the track, and then when it was all said and done, hit the hot tub, and mellow out! I pretty much sacrificed my whole summer on basketball, I never done anything like that before. I just want to go into Poly and be a hit from the get go. I’ve been working out with a few guys as well, former teammate in Akere and also Mike, who’s getting ready to play for Middlesex CC. I think we all are ready to contribute to our respective colleges this upcoming season. I also played in summer league, and I’ve been killing dropping 20pts or more in several key games. The last game I dropped 25pts, including 6 three pointers. I think my jumpshot had improved. Well that’s it for now, thanks for reading along and hope you will be back here next month when I talk about Poly practices and also Hoop-it-up tourney!”
