Weekend wrap

The weekend is history. Good work by the Thunder 17U/16U with three close wins in three days over Kalihi Valley, Rising Stars and Palama. Enjoy the victories and be ready to work on your game every day. Each of you know what your strengths and weaknesses are, but one factor is always constant: your willingness to improve. Nobody can stop you from getting better every day but yourself. As a team, the more we work together, the better we get. Much better.

Push yourself. Be better tomorrow and next week and next month. There is no limit to how high you can go as a player and as a team. It starts there.

Run the stairway. Run the hill. Run the park. Lift weights. Drill yourself. Shooting. Ballhandling. Free throws. Post moves. 3-pointers. It's what you do when nobody's watching that fortifies your game.

Are you hungry?

Team-wise, plenty to work on this week at practice. We had some serious defensive lapses on Sunday against Palama. That will be corrected.

Good workout Sunday afternoon with John, Felix, Yong, Jake and Brent. We got in work on shooting mechanics, low post footwork and post passing.

Big mahalo to Coach Larry for stepping up on Sunday with Coach Bo busy at work. Mahalo also to Kaelen's mom for bringing pizza on Saturday, and to Cody's dad for bringing pizza and fruit on Sunday. And also big thanks to the Ogosos for always bringing water and drinks to the games.

I lub this game!
