Today was pretty much that same as the last few days. I actually got up earlier than I usually do this morning. I got up at about 9:15. I ate a bowl of cereal for breakfast, and watched a little tv. I went to lift around 10:30. Here at Lehigh, the coaches offices are in the same building as our locker room, weight room and wrestling room. So when I go to work out, I usually go through the coaches offices. Today I got to meet and talk to a few of the people that work in the office. That was nice because it made me feel more at home, which is happening more each day.
After talking with a few people, I went to lift. I ran into a few guys from the team in the weight room, which is connected to our locker room. That is real nice, because I can get in to the weight room any time, and I do not have to worry about weight room hours and waiting for someone to let me in if I need to work out. I felt really good had a pretty good lift today.
When I was done lifting I hung around a talked with a few guys from the team and Pat Santoro, who is the head assistant coach here. Its nice that the coaches and the athlete can sit around and just hang out. I believe its important for they athletes and coaches to be close. It makes things a lot better, and its easier to interact on a personal level versus, "I am the coach, You are the wrestler" way. I definitely like the fact that I can be a coach and a friend to the guys that I work with, and that is how it is here.
I played golf again today. I played better than I did yesterday, so I must be getting use to my new clubs. I did get a birdie today. I haven't had one of those in a while. I just hope to be able to make a good showing this weekend and next week.
After golf I came home to relax and make some phone calls, before my afternoon workout. I went to work out at 5 and then got back here around 6:30.
Didn't do much tonight, I ate talked to some friends on the phone and watched a little tv. Tomorrow, Kevin Shippos(PSU Heavyweight) is coming to train and then we are heading to State college on Friday. So that's all for today.
