What are we doing in boot camp?

Hey folks,

                I’ve got the emails from a couple of you guys asking what are we doing this year and asking what do I expect out of myself and my team?

What did we do today???????????? First thing is Coach Winston blows the whistle and we all stop whatever we are doing and run to him and gather around him in a circle. He tells us what we are doing today and some business we have to handle this week. Every day, he talks about Pac-10’s and how hard it’s going to be to get the title. You can tell by how he looks and speaks about the meet,  that is is very important that we HAVE to win this meet. Our coach is the so cool, he’s like one of the guys and that’s the main reason I chose to come to this school. He says to us and I quote “you dudes aint going to let BLAH BLAH BLAH university come and punk you on the line like you a b1tch” and we all scream “BULL SH1T” you should hear it….it’s his way of motivating us. Today, the short sprinters and jumpers had 4x300 in the grass wit like 3 mins rest in between each. I actually wasn’t in the back today and I felt really good running those. Everybody really encourages each other this year because me and Darryl bring a different type of FAMILY vibe to the team. People always talk about how different the attitudes of our athletes are this year. Next, when we got done……we had to put our backpacks on and run ALL THE WAY to the weight room in a single file line of 2…..when we got to the weight room….we had to circle around coach because he had to leave early to go to the Arizona Cardinals game where our women’s team is being recognized as the national champions and they receive their rings. We had to do  4x10 squats, pull-ups, abs, and a bunch of more stuff I will not go into detail with. After practice, we gather around our weight room coach BEN and he tells us his thoughts on todays work out WHICH WAS PRETTY GOOD…..then  we clap it up as a team …. Clap clap clap clap clap ….. A-S-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…..HAHAHAHA gets ya crunk huh? I almost forgot, I don’t know how im going to do this season……we will see when spring time comes……Anyway, until time PEACEEEEEEEEEEE.

Also – I thank you guys for your emails and reading my blog, I really appreciate your concern…..pray for my team mate Darryl Elston…he lost a aunte yesterday and he’s going home to mourn the death….pray for him

Let\'s get it!
