A Day in the Life of a Basketball Player



Madison high school’s JV basketball has many different bright personalities on the team, however, I began to ask about the daily routine of Landon Albert. On game days Landon starts out his day by waking up at 7:00 A.M. After waking up, he takes a shower in order to wake up and get focused for the day. Before he leaves for school he makes himself eggs and toast so that he has a healthy start to the day. Once he gets to school he is trying to get the mood all day long by blocking out any unnecessary distractions throughout the day. As the game comes closer he begins to really get ready for the game, making sure to stretch and get mentally ready. While warming up he makes sure he is glancing at the other team to get a feel of how they play. However no matter what the other team looks like warming up Landon treats it like any other game not allowing for intimidation to overcome him. During the game the only thing in his head is how he can help the team and get the win over the opposing team. After the game is finished, win or lose, Landon always will reflect on the mistakes that he made while on the court. Landon Albert is a great example of an athlete that just doesn't care about himself but how his team is doing and what he can do for his team.
