Gut Week Update

So far we are making it through ok. There are 4 sessions down. We have 3 more sessions left. Tomorrow is "Hump Day". It is called that because it is Wednesday and falls in the middle of the week. Once you make it past Wednesday it is all down hill. That is the truth for our team during Gut Week as well.

The four sessions we have had were:

Monday AM - 2 hour session that include stretching, Indian Mile, Vertimax, Ab work, Sprints on the floor, closeouts/one on one full court defense, and a changing direction drill (did you know that if a player plays all 40 minutes of a college game they will change directions on the floor close to 700 times?)

Monday PM - A 1.9 mile jog in dowtown jog that started at the Cramton Bowl and ended on the top of the stairs of the Capitol Building. That last 1/2 mile up Dexter Avenue is a beast but it is full of rich history including civil rights marches and the home of Dexter Ave Baptist Church (where MLK Jr. was Pastor). Our kids did a great job and decided that they want to conquer the capitol city and be the best program in the river region.

Tuesday AM - A 2 hour session that included stretching, Indian Mile, Ab work, 2 ball full court ballhandling, and a great fast break drill that we used to run at Westbury Christian that really helped us defensively.

Tuesday PM - We took some time and dusted and wiped down every seat in the upper level of the gym. These seats were used and put in hastily and they were very dusty. We wanted to take some pride in the appearance of our facility so we cleaned up the seats, swept, and hand wiped down the aisle steps and front row flooring. This should make it more comfortable for our fans and for the general student population and faculty wo have had to sit on dusty seats for the last week of chapel.

Tomorrow is Hump Day. A 2 hour morning session and then the grand daddy of them all..."Touch Em All" at the Cramton Bowl. I have been told it seats 30,000...that may be a preachers count. Still...not easy at all.

Our last session will be 6-7:30 am on Thursday. Then we will leave that evening for a retreat in Childersburg, AL.

What a great week so far!!

God Bless,
