Born in 1984

Below is my favorite commercial. And what a way to share the great practice I had today.

I’ve been really frustrated because my calves to my Achilles heel has given me pain for the last few months. My partner bought me McDavid leg sleeves which are making my shin splints feel better by keeping my legs warm during these cold Kanto Japan winters. My partner also bought me proper shoes to play in. I used to have stylish Reebok’s with straps…but they were more for the street than for playing ball. Thanks to my partner now I have these 

The video in my first blog entry shows that I’m not confident with the ball by fumbling and traveling. But today was different.

I used to shoot 2 shots from 5 spots on the court (i.e. A step inside the 3P line). I got over a big hurdle, ‘pride’ I call it, and today shot 6 shots from 2 spots on either side of the court by the baseline and 10 shots from the rest of the 3 spots, each a step inside the 3P line. I’m confident now that I’m going to up my shots tomorrow and do 10 shots for all 5 spots.

This is huge and all thanks to my partner, who is my coach, team mate, best friend, and lover.

I’m asking myself though, “Can I get a lay up?”
