Tonner’s World
As told by men’s basketball forward Tonner Jackson
Monday’s and Wednesday’s 8 a.m. lifts: the price of ending a season prematurely. I’m more of a glass half full guy, so I look at it as an opportunity to get a little bit of a ‘pump’ before my 9 a.m. class. Although this rationalization is conveniently weakest when Death Row Records’ “Still Dre” booms from my cell phone at 7.a.m, it is certainly valuable.
Offseason has been going well. Our practices have watered down from 22 players to 12 and it’s making practices a whole other animal. Already our practices are becoming more of a cardio struggle; we spend a whole let less time waiting for our turn to take part in a drill. This offseason has started off well, it’s a little less stressful not thinking about upcoming games and scouting reports, and I’m noticing it in my energy levels and alertness in the classroom. This is a good thing, because with papers and final exams coming around, I could sure use the energy!
See you next week at the gym!
