  • Mon July 8th, Yoga
  • Tue July 9th, BBall @ CSI, 2 hrs, full court 5v5’s
    • Thoughts: I need to be more patient in the paint while going against defenders that are of my height (or taller) or with a equal or greater level of athleticism. Need to utilize quickness against bigger bodied defenders. Work on ‘stopping on a dime’, making a few pivots, pump fakes (if the situation calls for it) & being unpredictable.
  • Thu July 11th, BBall @ CSI
    • I missed way to many layups. Right shoulder hurts a bit when lifting and moving it around / to the left. I’m pretty sure this is from trying to dunk, which I dont have the technique down for.
  • Sat July 13th, ~3m jog @ Silver Lake
    • Walked from Navy Pier, thru Hero Park, stretched in Silver Lake for a while, tried to stay in shade and on hilly areas and just mindful of form. Stretched again after 3 miles then walked back.

  • Tue July 16th, BBall @ CSI
    • Good 2 hours of full court 5v5. Lots of running. I feel way better about finishing my layups this game. Rebounding was a battle. I went on to seal a game with a offensive board, put-back, and free throw for the win.
