I had a good week of practice this week. I can tell I'm really learning. Tomorrow, we head out for Long Beach, and I can say I'm ready to get out of Vegas. It's fun here, but buffet food, slot machines, and cigarette smoke get old fast. I'm excited for this weekend, though. Coach told me yesterday that my footwork has improved a lot in a month. He told me that once I get a few things figured out on one-on-ones, no one will be able to beat me. (Jack, that includes you.) I just need to work on letting the play come to me and keeping my feet moving when I make contact. Today he talked to me for a while, asked how I'm doing, and I said I think I'm learning a lot and improving.
