How Was Your Summer? - Coach Whitten

My summer was pretty good, but went by much too fast.  Our season is so long, spending time with my wife Angie and our 2 boys, Jamie, 5, and Brayden, 3, is always a highlight.  One of my favorite things to do is take the kids to the pool.  We usually call it boys day/night and we always have a great time.  This year we took a few trips as well. We went to Hershey Park for 3 days, and to Dutch Wonderland for 2 days.  We’ve been going to Dutch Wonderland every year for 3 years now and the guys love it.  Now that they are a little older, for the 1st time ever, Angie and I took a vacation without the boys.  For her birthday, I surprised Angie with a long weekend in the Bahamas.  It was great to send time together with her!!

Basketball-wise, this summer was a little different because it was the 1st summer we could work out with our players.  As a coach, that is my favorite time, being on the court with our kids.  Summer is always busy with recruiting, and this summer was no different.  We graduate 5 seniors this year and our staff did a terrific job recruiting and we feel we’ve signed an super class.  I traveled to Ohio, Florida, Chicago, DC, and Georgia.  Chicago pizza is definitely all it’s cracked up to be and there is an amazing Mexican spot in Georgia!!  Seeing coaching friends you don’t get to see much is always a great part of July as well. 

I hope your summer was awesome and I hope you’ll be following us this season!!
