The last time I posted a blog Billy Donovan was Orlando’s coach. Looks like things have changed. First of all, I wish Coach Donovan the best and understand he was torn on his decision. Florida’s lucky to get him back. Having said that, I’m excited and relieved that we have found our new coach in Stan Van Gundy. I don’t know Coach Van Gundy but I’ve heard nothing but good things about him.
It’s been a busy week for me. For one, workouts are in full swing and there’s a little soreness in my body. James Augustine and I did a track workout on Wednesday morning and it was challenging. NBA shape is way different from Duke shape (all I did was run at Duke). But that’s why I’m putting in the work this summer- to be in “Duke shape.” Besides pilates, running, swimming, lifting, and basketball workouts, I also spoke at two of the Orlando Magic’s camps. On Tuesdsay, there were a little over one hundred kids in attendance. I talked to them about my experiences, answered some questions, and even gave a couple of them shooting tips. Wednesday was the same routine- just a different gym and a little bit smaller group of kids (about 60 or so). I absolutely love being involved in the Orlando community. Hopefully, I’ll have some pictures available to post from the camps.
I’ll post a blog early next week. Thanks for stopping by…but mostly, stay classy.
