From football to basketball season, I did not have any time off. That's hard, especially on your body. Your body changes based on the sport and it was good to have a couple of weeks of rest before track. |
I grew up watching Westbrook basketball games and saw some of those winning teams we had in the past and it's something I've always wanted to be a part of. It's been hard lately because we're lacking some talent, but hopefully next year we can turn things around. |
I moved from Florida when I was younger, and sports, especially basketball, were a good way to make friends. I grew up idolizing Michael Jordan, so that had a lot of influence on me. |
It's a great new facility and it's really made a big difference. |
Our team really struggled. But I was happy with both my and my team's efforts. |
We have a great group of coaches in track. They motivate us and allow us to have fun while also pushing us to be the best we can. |
We lost our best 400 man last year and I'll have to try to take his place, which is not going to be easy. My time last year was :57, so I'd like to lower that a bit. Also, the high jump is new to me so I have set some goals to accomplish there. |
We played hard almost 100 percent of the time. Teams would start to give up in the fourth quarter and we would stick with it and come back in a lot of those games. Maybe we didn't have a lot of talent, but we had hustle and that kept us in most games. |
We spend almost six months out of the year together. As with any coach/player relationship, we do butt heads, but he's a great guy and is so helpful that it makes spending so much time together easy. |
