Summertime Fun
The End of One Chapter and Beginning of Another
Spring sports have officially come to an end, as the NBA, NHL, NCAA and High School athletic seasons have come to their exciting conclusions. Congratulations to the Warriors, the Avalanche, Maryland, Ole Miss, North Carolina and Oklahoma for their respective championships, as well as all of the other spring champions across the amateur and professional world of sports.
As the exhilaration of spring championships is still in the air, the warmth of summer begins to take over. Some pro athletes are now able to sneak in downtime or vacation. College and high school campuses have thinned out, as students travel home for summer break, summer camps and summer jobs. It’s typically a welcome change of pace along with a change to even better weather for those up north.
Summertime Fun
Besides the weather, what makes summer so much fun? Baseball, golf, tennis, volleyball, beaches, boating, concerts, fireworks, lakes and pool parties... the list goes on! From a pro sports perspective, it’s mostly about the MLB, WNBA, Wimbledon and the US Open. For fans, catching a game with a cold beverage is a great way to enjoy the summer. There’s just something special about summertime. For
certain athletes, it’s special in a whole different way.
Summer Training
Often, the best athletes in the world spend their summers doing anything but sitting back and relaxing with a cold beverage. They take the opportunity to retool their skill set and put themselves through grueling workouts. They bike, run, lift, swim and do intense training regimens in hot, humid weather. It may sound like some sort of masochistic punishment, but it is in fact FUN in a twisted sense that only athletes understand. It’s fun in the sense that you know you are doing more than the competition... working harder... putting in the hours, blood, sweat and tears required to be a champion. It’s the kind of fun that the great ones like Brady and Jordan couldn’t... and maybe still can’t get... get enough of. If you’re aspiring to be great, you know what it takes to get there and summer is a great time to get that
edge.
So, from all of us here at BallaBloc enjoy your summertime fun... whatever it means to YOU!
