Wednesday Funday

Good practice tonight, Thunder. Javan Montiho, Joshua de Jesus, Jimark de Jesus, Jerry Killion, Kyle Moraga, Ryan Higashionna, Kalai Kuia and two faces we haven't seen in a long time — Tanielu Afe and Chris Afe. Tani and Chris worked hard last year, practicing every chance they got with a hunger and determination matched by only a few of our other Thunder.

This year, though, they've been committed to football during this winter season, so we haven't seen them like always used to. It was great to see them. Football training has been good for them, even though both of them were a little tired today. With PAA starting in one week, they'll be able to come to games (Wednesday and Saturday nights) and our 13U could be back to full force. That would be fun!

We practiced outside tonight, but there was no wind or rain, thank God. We've got a ways to go with our halfcourt execution, but we got a lot of reps in today, along with some drills and a bit of conditioning.

No practice until game day (Saturday). Get on the court, work on your game, study the game video and learn from everything — the things you and your teammates did well and also the mistakes. There's always room for improvement no matter who you are or what team you play for. It's up to you.

The same goes for conditioning. There were a lot of tired people today, and that shouldn't be happening. Every day, hit the field and run. Or run at the courts. Do your pushups. Do everything you can to improve physically every day. Get your reps in every day, at least 200 shots and 50 free throws. Don't short-change yourself, ever!

WE LUB THIS GAME.
