If you haven't gotten word via Facebook, Thunder practice is Thursday, 5-6:30 p.m. at Makiki District Park. The park is right above the freeway next to the Keeaumoku Street overpass. If you have been through town, you've passed it probably a hundred times. From the freeway, you can see the skateboard park right below the overpass, the basketball courts next to that. Enter from the mauka (mountain) side via Wilder Street. The facility is pretty busy and nice with a big soccer field, library, swimming pool.
The great thing is that hardly anybody is there at 5 p.m. on a weekday and there are two courts. It's a more convenient site for most of the guys on this season's 15U team, and for the 17U guys, as well.
To the guys who can't make it to practice, no worries. If you're busy with track or volleyball practice at high school, that always takes precedence.
After Thursday, we probably won't practice until Sunday afternoon, site to be determined.
Looking forward to more basketball. I lub dis game!
Update, 5:15 p.m. At practice, we'll run through drills at game speed. Nothing will take as well as operating at game speed, and each of you can do the same drills on days when we don't practice, if you truly want to maximize your God-given potential. My estimate is that only 5% of all players in Hawaii come anywhere near maximizing their potential even through the resources — basketball, shoes, courts — are available. The beauty of the game is that it starts with your heart and nothing can take that away except your own work ethic, or lack thereof.
