Diary Of A Baller: Malachi Richardson Entry #1


First and foremost I would like to thank bballspotlight.com for giving me this opportunity to share my daily experiences with all the bballspotlight supporters.

My name is Malachi Richardson aka "Shoota" aka "Snipa". I'm a 6'2 shooting guard class of 2015 from Trenton NJ. I haven't played in a regulation game since the U14 Nationals (Orlando) were held in July. My AAU team is Youth Interlock and we placed 14th. While at the nationals I injured my groin. I finished the tournament on one leg, and if you think it’s easy it's NOT it was very frustrating.

The rest of my summer sure didn't go as planned. Instead of attending three basketball camps I had to rest for three weeks. It was very difficult watching my friends ball and not be able to get out their with them. After my three week hiatus from ballin, I had to gradually strengthen my groin and get back into shape. I was invited to workout with my local high school team TCA (Trenton Catholic Academy), they run an excellent strength and conditioning program during the summer. Shout out to the TCA Fam for the invite and allowing me to use the gym. Since then I've added some bulk to my body and game. Now that summers over I gotta be a fulltime student athlete.

Summers Ova.....School Begins.

Peace!
