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
