Wimbledon

Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick to win his 15th major win, the most in history.

My week at Stanford

I went to a Stanford basketball camp this week. There were a lot of great players who have a lot of potential. I played pretty well throughout the week (Tuesday-Friday) and our team went undefeated until losing in the championship game by one. I thought that one of the best parts of the camp was having lectures from a lot of the coaches. We had a lecture from head coach Johnny Dawkins (also third leading scorer all-time in the ACC at Duke), coach Tension (Assistant coach, taught Gilbert Arenas, Jason Terry and other NBA players), coach Davey (assistant coach, taught Steve Nash and Hasheem Thabeet), and coach Payne (Director of student-athlete development).

Stanford players that we got to meet or be taught by:
