Hey everybody, how ya’ll doing?!!! Thanks for checking in with me!

I’m back- back in the states that is! I must say it feels good to be home in Jersey and to spend a lot of time with family and friends! Last year, was a long year, because I did not come home for Christmas and I was in Italy and Germany for 9 months. (Every other year Tobi and I spend Christmas in the states with my family and the other in Germany with his family. Fair, I would say, huh?) So, yes, I am really enjoying this summer at home.

I took time off to rest my body from last season and this past week I began training again. Time to get back to work! The first week or two back is not so fun, but in a couple of weeks, I know that I will be in great shape. I will work out at Drexel University with the strength and conditioning coach, Michael Rankin and play in the Philadelphia summer league twice a week. Also, the first week of August, I will go to “The Teacher” in Tampa, Florida for 1 on 1 basketball training. He is an amazing basketball coach and he always helps my game!

As far as working, my main priority is to get ready for next season in Poland. However, I will also work the Philadelphia 76ers basketball camp for 2 weeks in July. I had really enjoyed working this camp and wanted to do it again this summer. Todd Landrey is a great director and it is pleasure working with him. Also, I might get into some individual training of young basketball players, as I had done for many of the previous years. I love teaching and developing youth talent.

Other things.. I can not wait to get my butt down to the beach. For those who know me, know that I love the Jersey Shore and that I am a complete beach bum. There’s nothing like that feeling of laying on the beach or swimming in the water and riding the waves. Oh those Wildwood days… Also, we will probably head up to New York for some summer fun!

Until next time… OXOXOX, Michelle
