Quick update on my season: I have 4 regular season games left, then playoffs in early April. Less than a week following my season I head to Prague for a big international tournament. This tournament acts as training camp for the World Championships. Our team won the tournament last year so we’ll be defending our title. Then at the end of April my off-season finally begins and I’ll rejoin a real gym. Main goal until May is to win games and remain healthy.

Went to my friends gym last night (Equinox) followed by all you can eat sushi. My finger is still limiting me but I did what I could.

This evening I have a game. We’re playing the second place team, should be a good one.

We lost 18-12 Saturday night. I played like shit as did much of my team. We were winning in the first half but let them score 11 in the second.

Most of my injuries held up but I took a blow to my right quad so I’m limping as of now. Don’t think it’s serious.
