Hi Tiger Fans
After last year's season, there has been so much excitement to get
back onto the court. As one of the juniors on the team, I know the
journey: long, grueling but fun at the same time. It started with
preseason and now we're on the main stretch as we began official
practice October 15th.
Everybody prepares for the first day of practice differently: some of
us break in our new sneakers, some of us relax in an ice bath, and
others of us do whatever we can to calm the butterflies in our
stomachs. No matter the differences, we all come prepared the second
we step on the court. What's up first? DEFENSE! Aggressive, in-your-
face, "stops-to-scores" defense! It serves as what we'd like to be
the backbone of our style of play and the foundation of our development.
Outside of Jadwin Gymnasium, we're hitting the books hard, but then of
course, what's new? With midterms approaching, our focus in practice
will be challenged. For us, It's a time of intense studying, paper
writing and basketball. While many of us have made it through this
tough segment several times, it's new for a few. Fortunately, they
have their basketball family for guidance.
That's our update for this week! Thank you for your support and stay
tuned in for later updates!
