12/9/2011

Well for the past week I couldn't play basketball because I hurt my foot. I made a good decision to take some time off from practice to let my foot heal. It was a great desicion because it gave me some time to work on my shot. It was a soft tissue injury but the whole time I have been working to try to strengthen the muscles in my foot and speed up the healing. I started practice again two days ago and I'm playing like I was at the beginning of the season. Its great to be back in the game and our game against palatka tonight is going to be awesome!
I'm also still tutoring my fellow players because we all have to be sound in the class room as well as on the court. Sometimes I want to just give them all the answers to their questions but I do not want to taqke away their capabilies to learn. When I tutor them I still make them figure out how to do their homework but I give them little hints along the way to keep them from giving up, which many people will do when they are confused. This is especially important because the end of the semester comes up right in the middle of the season. It really matters what the players get for the end of the semester because it can determine whether they will be eligible to play the rest of the season.
