Diary Of A Baller: Tyus "Kid Mamba" Battle (Edison, NJ) Entry #28


What’s up basketball world, I am here again to tell about another week.

Monday was a really good day, school was really cool, my classes all went very smooth and the day actually went fast for the first day back. Monday afternoon, I went home and hung out with my brother after finishing up all of my homework a lot earlier than usual.

Tuesday the first part of the day went fast, school seems to be getting easier. I think because the weather has been great and the teachers are all in a good mood. I had a few quizzes and test that I am pretty happy with the results on. After school I worked out for 2 hours with Bryce from Impossible Training. We worked on my pull-up for about 30 to 40 minutes and then we did some unreal ball-handling drills with the heavy ball and a regular basketball also.

Wednesday my dad returned from his business conference in Las Vegas with a lot of energy. I was a little tired from a long weekend and although I did not show it, I was very happy that he was back. We pretty much just hung out and laughed a lot when he returned. I no doubt hit the weights a little and did my 250 push-ups before I went to bed but we played no basketball which all right sometimes.

Thursday I worked hard with my dad after a tough day at school. We went to the gym at 8’oclock and he killed me for 2 hours. We did shooting, ball-handling, heavy ball, suicides with the heavy ball and individual moves of the bounce. We went really hard the entire 2 hours, with one short water break and we were all very focused. Dad was not fooling around at all. I love the workouts with my dad because he is really intense and we get a lot done.

Friday school was good and it went a little slow because I wanted to go home and get little nap. It has been a long week and I cannot wait to get in the bed for a little rest. After some sleep and an hour of video games to relax, my brother and I had school practice. School practice was good and it went really fast. We were preparing for our first ever middle school championship and I could not wait.

Saturday morning, I got up early because I was so excited about the game. When the game started both teams hit their first few shots and at the half I only had about 10 points and we winning by just a few points. When the second half started we just hit the ground faster than they did and pulled away with a 24 point and I was MVP of the game. After the game my dad said I really dominated the game on both ends and showed great leadership. Every once in a while my dad gives me a compliment and when he does it pretty cool.

Sorry to end so abruptly but I have to go. I have a lot of homework to do but very little time to get it done. This is Tyus Battle signing off.
