Wednesday 8/26.  Played at the park tonight with a group of regulars.  My son played a few games and played well.  He hit the open jump shot, but was a little tentative (when he wasn't spotting up and hitting the open jump shot).  He needs to learn to always catch in a ready stance, looking to attack the basket, post feed, shoot or if nothing is there simply pass out and cut, replace or screen.  Defensively he does a good job anticipating the action, and playing the ball rather than his man.

Thursday 8/27. Had a very good workout with my son Thomas tonight at an indoor gym across from my neighborhood.  He worked on agility, conditioning, shooting off the catch, foul shots, ball handling and finished up playing some 2 on 2 play.  Overall he moved well, shot well and gave a great effort.

Working with my son

Wednesday 8/26.  My son (who is 13 and in the 7th grade) is coming off ACL surgery, and is currently about 90%.  He suffered the injury last October during the last play of the championship football game(in which they won) on an interception and run back on the last play of the game!  He worked hard after surgery in rehab for months, and just this past summer he was able to get back on the court.  He is the joy and pride of my life and I am so grateful that I can get to help him grow as a person and basketball player.  He has made great strides this summer because of his dedication and excitement for the game.
