I can’t believe that summer is almost here! Finally the weather is beginning to cooperate with my personal preferences…swimming pools are opening and I can start running outside instead of running 23 1/2 laps around the indoor track in order to get a 2 mile run in! Flowers are blooming, trees are getting their leaves, and birds are chirping up a storm. Ahhhh yes…summer is on it’s way!

With the season ending and the July evaluation period still a couple months away, I was able to take a little vacation time. Colorado was calling my name and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to get some downhill skiing in. On my list of favorite things to do, basketball is tops, but skiing makes a strong case for #2 on the list. So I hopped on a plane and met up with my family in Winter Park, CO for 5 days. Now the last time I had been skiing was my senior year of high school where I got a little too aggressive and ended up being driven off the hill on the back of a snowmobile after taking a nasty spill from going airborne over a monster jump. I’d like to say I learned my lesson, but I still have a need for speed and adventure so by day 3 on the slopes I was fearlessly bombing around the jumps once again. I’m happy to say that besides some minor aches and pains I came out injury free and I’m looking forward to making the trip again next year.

I hope that you all are finishing up the school year strongly and getting ready for summer basketball. The staff here is anxious to get out and see all the great talent this July. Keep working hard and we’ll see you soon!
