I'm Early huh?

Goooooooood morning!!!

I'm up early this morning getting my body and my mind prepared for our first scrimmage. Today's scrimmage will be at CCNY. For those unfamiliar that's City College of New York. The first few days of training camp have been awesome. I love the work that the rookies are putting in. Despite their lack of professional experience, they counter that with open minds and a will to learn. In my 4th season I'm now considered a veteran, so many times they come to me with questions. It makes me feel old, but also respected.

Coach Whisenant reminds me so much of Coach Stringer. They're both defensive oriented...and from the same era. With practice being so defensive driven, as an athlete you have to know that you MUST take care of your legs. What better way of taking care of your legs than a nice cold ice bath? :insert sarcasm here: Although the ice bath may be the best thing known to rejuvenate sore muscles, it is also the worst thing known to man. I've been an athlete for the majority of my life and I STILL have a problem with sitting in freezing cold water.... go figure huh? lol. Seriously speaking though, if you're an athlete looking for a faster turnaround time, I'd recommend taking a ice bath for about 15-20 min.

Moving along with my morning....

I'm actually supposed to be sleep at the moment, but I have this project I need to put the finishing touches on :) Now that I think about it, I went to sleep very early yesterday. I started my sweet slumber around 7pm, woke up a few hours later for a bite to eat, then fell back to sleep around midnight. Over 8 hours of sleep for me. Those that know me do know that 8 hours itself is a long time for me to sleep. I guess it's all this hard work they have us doing out here in New York. Speaking of hard work, shout out to this rain! I've never had to work so hard to GET to practice! Yesterday, so many roads were flooded because of the down pour. Not only did I have to swerve massive puddles the size of the Hudson River, but I had drive double the time.

An-y-way
How did you guys like the photos on ? I posted the newest set of photos and hope you guys really enjoyed them. After all the photoshoots I've done I think I'm going to quit my day job and become a professional smiler....a lot less stress on the body and no thinking involved, just smile. Ok ok ok I was kidding. I'm done blabbing this morning and need to finish up this quick project.
