Week 1 Pregame Report: Blood Bringers Vs. JaVale McThrees
Huge game this weekend in the first match of my semipro Zog Sports basketball team: The Blood Bringers. This week's match up features The Blood Bringers versus Toon Squad, two teams comprised of players who I've never met or seen footage of. It's tough to say what match ups are going to look like since only three of six players have submitted their player profiles to me for review; but so far it looks like we're going to focus a lot on rebounding. It doesn't matter the skills, the talent, the training, none of it. All that matters is the heart: and I'm going to work my team until we win or their hearts explode in camaraderie.
As you know, I'm looking at this as an opportunity to go pro and I've adjusted my training as such. It’s super important to get yourself on a good training schedule to go pro, so a couple days ago I snuck skittles into the gym. It’s also really important to have a consistent diet, so when I went out on Tuesday night to buy a burrito, I bought an extra one for Wednesday night as well. Some would have butterflies in a situation like this, but not me. I’m too busy collecting sweatbands, amazon priming shooting sleeves, and practicing euro steps in the mirror.
