Finals Week Turns to Warm Weather Soon

We have had a hectic and intense week of finals.  Our players have had exams every day and the final group of five had the last time slot of 2-5 pm on Friday afternoon. I can't remember having any of our players in the last slot for awhile.  We have tried to stay active throughout the week during our study breaks.  We haven't done much team basketball, but we have been cognizant of our conditioning and done some cross training.  For a few, they said they would just stay with basketball--the cross training activities were intense and harder than they thought.  Each day they talked more about the sore muscles.  Then they talked about being in shape for our trip to Florida.  We play two tough opponents while there so their bodies have to be in shape.  We are looking forward to the semester break, re-focusing, trying to turn our situation into a more positive outlook, and relaxing in the warm weather a bit before we join our families for the holidays.
