Mentor Hours (April 10)

Today I spent lots of time with my mentor.  First he evaluated my knee to make sure I am gaining muscle and strength back in my injured knee.  He wanted to make sure that my knee cap was in place and the areas surrounding my knee cap were at full strength.  My mentor had told me that I have got alot stronger since my injury because I kept up with my physical therapy regimine and he said I looked very healthy.  He told me I had a ways to go but if I stay focused I will get there.  Today we did mostly balancing exercises and core work.  It was very challenging because when I got injured my core became very weak and all that time off from injury began to reflect on my core.  He had me do planks, squats, one leg balancing exercise, and lunges.  This was how we spent my day and after my workout we talked a little more.  We spent about 5 hours together because I had iced off and on after working out for about an hour and we talked alot about basketball and how I can improve my landing and prevent injury
