Part 1 : Training

Life As A Basketballer

After a 5 months break...

It's Basketball Season Again.

Suddenly.. I can feel my heart pumping faster, my adreline rising and the sounds of the basketball(tum....tum....tum).  Its all coming back, this is what I live for. 

Started my training about a week ago and I can't say it was a good week for me.. Got my right toe injured and almost sprain my left ankle.  But after all the pain, all the injury, and all the hardship I'M READY! I'm ready to hit the court.  

First stop :

• Competition : Penampang Cup ( 7th LHK Selection Cup 2009 )
• Venue : Pusat Kebudayaan Sabah ( Donggongon )
• Date : 14/5 - 21/5

My team(Metro Tire) is going into this competition as the defending champions.  I can say i'm excited about it because it's the first tournament of the year and it's also a good warm up for the Sabah Cup which is end of this month.

There 10 teams, 2 groups in this competition and we are drawn into Group A.  The rules is simple, the top two teams from both group would advance and meet in the semi-final.  

I can say it won't be an easy task entering into the semi because the top 3 teams in the competition is drawn into Group A (Metro Tire, STWAB, PPTPDS) but nevertheless our team is strong (i mean they have me) so it shouldn't be a problem.
