Hey everybody! Your favorite peacock here. It's hard to believe the season is finally here. Obviously, last year didn't end the way we expected, but it just meant more time for summer vacation! And, boy, did I take advantage of the ol' R&R!
The GIA guys asked me to come to the front of class and share what I did this summer. My Dad Frank took a bunch of video for me to share.
I started by juggling around my schedule.
Hawkeyes, This for the young and developing BB players. If Megan and Luka practice the Mikan, does it make sense for you to practice it as well? This is our 50 shot Mikan with 5 different finishes: lay in, reach back, cross under, jump hook, and skyhook. Earned not given. pic.twitter.com/8C3JEC0XQN

Then I found a nice corner where I could just chill.

Took some time to pay my respects to Kobe.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape the runaround.
#Hawkeyes, 55 at the end of a 10 spot, shot cycle where you must make 3/5 to advance; no standing and shooting. #Players, "Life is a process of learning and unlearning, doing and undoing. "@GeorgeRaveling. Prayers for Iowans and border states hit my #derecho Go Hawks! pic.twitter.com/yzc3JpY6vd

I did manage to spend some time downtown.

Jammed with my dad for a while.

Attended a Kareem fair.

Read all the Lord of the Rings books to learn about middle earth.

I turned 22. What a day!
#Hawkeyes, 55 demonstrating 22 in a row moving right. #Players, it's important to practice shooting moving to your right, left, forward & reverse pivot, step back, & fade away utilizing both the dribble & pass; each finish deserves to be practiced separately. #Train #Innergame pic.twitter.com/BIMKPNlmr7

Almost turned 23, too!

Spent a relaxing day at the beach.
#Hawkeyes 55 going 5 sets/direction; cant share the def lane slides, its private.#Players, Newtons laws of motion teach us that to move forward we must be willing to leave something behind; most times its old beliefs about your future & your ability to achieve.#Coaching#Win pic.twitter.com/xGlDZc4Xu0

#Hawkeyes, 55 working on his defense. #Players, "You shouldn't try to cast fear out. Instead, fear should be regarded as the kindling to build a big fire of fearlessness.

Spent another night downtown.
#Hawkeyes, end of w/o #1; getting it in with our @TTOBasketball family. #Players, please remember the first shot occurs between the ears; its the inner-game that determines how well you perform in the outer-game. #ELEVATE https://t.co/c49ffjiyk3 #Win pic.twitter.com/Mv94NtTdfn

Got lost further downtown than usual, though.
Thank you, Fran & @ChristosTyler for an enjoyable time talking world hoops. I remember when we first met as does Luka; we hope to see you again in those circumstances except this time, it's Iowa's final 4.

Still, there are some days where I'd like to just fade away.
#Hawkeyes, How do you like the fade away? #Players, it's all about incremental progress each day; seek progress, not perfection. pic.twitter.com/D3aKoRY4OW

Finally, I put a bow on the summer and got back to work.
#Hawkeyes, wrapping up workout #3. #Players, youll never have to wait in line to get better. pic.twitter.com/M7Vw9nE1Hu

It was a weird summer, but a constructive one. Can't wait to get back to school!
