Today we were in the gym from 2pm-5pm for the group workout and then 6pm-9pm for practice. During the group workout I helped teach the kids how to do the woke out move because it was challenging. Malik was having trouble with it so he asked for help, I went over to the other side of the court and worked on the move with him for until he got the hang of it. I told him like I tell the other players, this is the place to make mistakes right here so you can get better. He went back in line with the other players to continue the workout. He still made mistakes but it looked a lot better. This right here helped me with my people skills and helped me have a better understanding of how people learn.

Wednesday, May 3rd 2017 Today we were in the gym from 1pm to 5pm, I  helped out with the group workout and also did it. Today's move was a stutter step, cross over, behind the back and then a floater. Then it was all that again but instead of a crossover it was between the legs. Doing all these moves help improve your ball handling skills and I can see my ball handling improving alongside the other kids who workout with me. After the workout there was 10th and 11th grade practice from 6pm to 9pm. I was going to help out with that but we had a Proctor basketball team dinner so I went to that. Even though I wanted to stay and play, it was nice to have the team come together as one again and enjoy a meal. We went to a restaurant where these guys walk around and offer you all different types of meat and it was unlimited.

Monday, May 8th 2017 Today was a roughly short day in the gym, 3pm-5pm. We worked out and helped out with the group workout which consisted of only high school players today so the workout was a little more advanced. The workout move today was between the legs, cross over, AI cross over, in and out and then a lay up. Then all that again but instead of a cross over it was between the legs then behind the back. Since there was a tournament last weekend coach TJ gave the players the day off and cancelled practice. But we're back at it again tomorrow ready to get better and help get the other kids get better.

Tuesday, May 2nd 2017 Today we were in the gym from 1pm - 5pm. During that time we had a group workout. We jumped in the workout and also helped the kids with today's move which was a double cross over, hesitation, and a lay up. Then it was all that again but instead of a lay up it was a jumpshot. The kids learned how to do a hesitation which is used to fake out your defender making them think you're about to shoot the basketball but you still have your dribble. After the group workout we went to pick up some of the younger kids who needed a ride to practice. I remember when I was their age I sometimes had a hard time finding a ride to practices so I want to make sure they don't have to worry about that. The practice lasted from 6pm to 9pm. During the practice time we helped with the drills and gave them advice while they were scrimmaging.
