Hey it's your boy Champ back at you with another week in a baller's life. This week started off with a treat as Nolan Smith from Duke was in the gym at my AAU teams workout last Sunday. It was inspiring to me to know he played for the same AAU team I play for now and was a part of the same workouts and stuff I do now. I worked hard that day because playing for a college team like Duke is my dream and the coaches there expect to go hard and compete today just like they did when he came through.
My school week started Monday and I was named a peer leader in my after school program 21st Century. This after school program is from 2:45 to 5:45 where the teachers help me with my core classes and I do my homework. It was a honor being named peer leader because I get to run errands for teachers and other things they need help with. It also reflects the leadership skills teachers and coaches see in me and I am very excited at the opportunity to lead. Remember young boy's we must put in work in school and for me most of the time I need help so I ask the teachers.
Mon through Friday I leave the after school program at around 4:45 and go to the gym and workout from 5 to 8. At the workout we do a lot in those 3 hrs we normally start with conditioning, sometimes plyometrics, and everyday weight lifting and core work. Then we do a little scrimmaging to display some of our skills. Finally I finish the night with about 300 shots and a lot of ball handling drills.
Saturday me and my Dad went to watch my brother James play in a game with his school team. His team won by about 30 pts he has some good players on his team. My week ended with my AAU workout on Sunday afternoon and I went to church on Sunday night. Well I got to go, check me out next week hopefully I will have some game news.
