Second semester is underway and it just keeps getting more and more busy. And, it's not even my university classes that are keeping me super busy, it's the upgrading I'm having to do. It's a small price to pay though because it's either do some upgrading and keep going with my B.Sc or don't upgrade and get a BA but who wants that? The thing that really sucks with the courses is that I haven't done any of them in like 3 years or so, so the material just seems to be way over my head. But I am getting some teammates and friends to help me so things are going to start rolling along soon.

Training. This is my stress reliever. This is my sanctuary. This is where I get my attitude from, whether I am training in the gym or on the field, this is where I get it. Even when I am busy as hell and can't find time for much I can still find time to get into the gym and push myself. If I didn't train the way I do I wouldn't be who I am. I have to have it in my life. I'm always going to train hard and when I am done school and back to work all I'm going to do is train people and train myself. You tell me, is there any better way to live your life?

Started phase 2 of my 3 phase workout program last Monday and it is awesome! I am about to start week 2 of the 12 week phase. I can't wait until I get up to about 200 lbs and just shredded. I'm going to be bigger, stronger, and faster than anyone in my league next season. I am going to be able to go for longer than anyone, jump higher than anyone and to top it off I can see my skill improving more and more as I play. I just need to try and slow things down and relax and it will start flowing way better.

During training camp in August I ran a 14.15 beep test, a personal best and a school best. I ran it again for fun on Wednesday and got a 14.11, and I was pissed! I plan on smashing my 14.15 over the next few weeks and by training camp this coming August I plan on getting a 16. Before and after I get my fitness to that point I am going/need to work on my starts. Those first few steps can determine who gets to that ball first, I plan on that being me every time.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

My Apologies

Seems like I start everyone of my blog posts like this for quite a while but sorry for not keeping up on this. I was working over my Christmas break and then got sick towards the end of it and now classes have started again and just lots of personal shit going on. So again, I apologize for not posting very much on my blog.

I'm only taking 3 classes and a physical activity this semester because in order to get back on track with my degree by next fall I need to do some upgrading for my prerequisites. I have to upgrade my math 12 and chem 11/12 by August and I haven't done math in about 3 years and haven't done any chem since grade 10 when it was a unit in science 10. This is going to be a very interesting semester and I'm honestly not looking forward to it. But, I have to get it done so I am going to dig deep and get it done.

My personal life is kind of messed up right now, but I won't get into much detail about that. In short though, don't get serious with someone in your first year of university. But, basically I am thinking of transferring back to BC somewhere, probably UVic. Anyways, I'll fill everyone in on that as it comes.

Now my training; it has been shit for the last month. I worked over the break and then got sick and that combined with my injuries from my season I am officially in the worst shape I've been in in about 4 years. Right now it's just my sickness that's keeping me back, and, well, my busy schedule doesn't help but I have to get back to where I was so I can pass it.

That's it for now.
