day 9:
today was an odd day. i arrived late and the door was locked, but i could hear people inside. i knocked on the door, and nobody answered. after 10 minutes someone else came, and we knocked on the door and they answered.
we jump roped, and just hung out for the beginning. then the mean coach came and we ran for like 20 minutes (ran over a mile). went back inside, attempted to get hand wraps on; failed.
we did basic footwork and jabs and crosses. then we did bag work. i love being told "i dont discriminate between white boys and black boys" yayy!! lets bring up race!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (mean coach said this).
after that i showed them my report card (the other coaches brought the elite team to go pumpking picking at a patch, and they came back before 7:30), and apparently a 3.714 is the greatest in all city history. i felt bad and good at the same time. i got a lot of good jobs and fist bumps from everyone. |
