Hey, what’s up?
Just checkin’ in. This week I spent a lot of time on the court. I had my first workout with Coach Vinnie last Wednesday. We did a lot of dribbling and shooting drills. We also worked on creating space and using my body to shield the ball from the defender. It was a hard couple of hours. What I like about Coach Vinny is that he not only has great drills, but he also takes the time to talk to me about the mental part of the game. He knows a lot and wants me to learn from his experiences.
Sunday was my first game in the Zoo Crew fall league. I hadn’t seen my Got Game teammates since I fractured my wrist in the St. Anthony’s summer league. It was fun to play with them and see my coaches again. We got to run our plays and get back into a groove. Science Park played hard but we were able to pull away and win. This game will stick in my mind because my 8 year old brother, Marquis, got a chance to get in. We played at the top of the zone side by side. My mother was cheesin'. Kiki got about 4 shots up, drawing a foul on one. He banked his first free throw in and swished the second. He was SOUPED! Everybody was cheering.
Last week I said I would tell you how I did on my Math quiz. I was a little disappointed, I got an 89. It’s not a terrible grade, but I know I can do better. I know what I did wrong and I shouldn’t make those mistakes again. I have a Social Studies test this Wednesday. I’ll let you know how I do on that one next time.
Check ya next week,
Otis “The General” Livingston Jr.
