I’ve now been home for a little over a week and have had an opportunity to process the whole experience. What an incredible journey I went on. The Camp Tour was very exhausting, but an experience that I would do all over again tomorrow if I could. I highly recommend putting together a journey similar…
The Camp Tour – Day 35
The final day of The Camp Tour had arrived as things wrapped up in Richmond, Virginia. It was Championship Friday at the Will Wade Basketball Camp and the campers came in hungry for the hardware. A particular camper was ready to transition from assistant coach to MVP. The young man that sprained his ankle and…
The Camp Tour – Day 34
The alarms were set early and often as the morning was off to a premature start. I headed to Richmond’s City Hall to dispute the parking ticket received on Monday. I planned on being there 15 minutes before the 8am opening so that I would be seen first, as I had to make it back…
The Camp Tour – Day 33
The morning got off to an earlier start than I had hoped. I set multiple alarms starting at 7:00am rather than 45 minutes later because I had to write yesterday’s blog. I’m not sure if it was a result of playing pickup after camp or The Camp Tour taking its toll on me but I…
The Camp Tour – Day 32
Camp began at 9am but the staff was asked to arrive 30 minutes early as campers would begin to show up. Before the day starts, it is best to have a coach at each basket to keep things organized rather than have 230 campers shooting balls all over the gym. At my basket, I set…
The Camp Tour – Day 31
Today couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start as I found a parking ticket on my windshield at 7:10am. I was told by the housing people that I could park on the street until 8am without any concern and I even asked a police officer last night, who confirmed this. He was in the…
The Camp Tour – Day 30
(This is Day 30 of a 35 day camp tour. Check out the first week of the tour here) The campers were awoken at the earliest time of the week, today at 7:15. With the weather not being great, we dismissed the campers by hallway to the cafeteria for breakfast. The goal was to get…
The Camp Tour – Day 29
(This is Day 29 of a 35 day camp tour. Check out the first week of the tour here) The morning got off to the usual early start and everyone walked over to the cafe for breakfast. Following the meal, each group went their separate ways as some went to the main gym while others went…
The Camp Tour – Day 28
(This is Day 28 of a 35 day camp tour. Check out the first week of the tour here) I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes as I used the voice recognition to “type” this blog. I hope all mistakes were fixed but with no wifi, I had to be creative rather than just typing…
The Camp Tour – Day 27
The staff meeting for Maryland Basketball Camp was not until 1pm and I took full advantage of that. I was able to catch up on some much needed sleep by not having an alarm go off until 9:30am. It took me 30 minutes to drive under 10 miles, but I was able to meet Chris…
