With the end of Volleyball as described in previous posts the new season starts. This new season is a personal favorite of mine. It’s Basketball. I want to try and really take this season and its athletics seriously. My goal is to retain my position as a starter on the team. I also want to become a more impactful and hardworking athlete and player.

I’m about 6’3 and half maybe 6’4 with shoes on depending on the kind, so coaches usually play me as a power forward even though I don’t have much prior experience as one as I am a guard when I play in canada. This all has to do with height. In Canada being my height is a good height for a guard and the big men are so much larger. Here I am probably the, or one of the most undisputed in size.

This year for SAISA we are going to ACS to play. They are the reigning champions and are based in Amman, Jordan. The environment we are going to play in is going to be much colder which is going to be amazing for us. We are used to the hot, humid and polluted environment of Sri Lanka with a gym roof that leaks. This new environment for us is going to be a blessing. Firstly its indoors, and has AC so it’s perfectly set up. This means our intake of oxygen, sweat and overall form is going to improve dramatically. This will probably give us a good boost. Being able to work and train in worse environments than going to a top notch environment will really impact our performance in a positive manner.
