I wish I had more to offer so far, but when your job already omits a lot of free time, and you can\u2019t go to work due to a country-wide quarantine, there isn\u2019t much to provide. The last week and a half has basically consisted of home workouts, cooking, video games, television, and a lot of trips to the grocery store. <\/p>\n
Luckily there are a couple outdoor courts near my apartment, making skills work somewhat accessible. Every shooter knows that while shooting outside isn\u2019t ideal, it\u2019s certainly better than nothing. As for strength and conditioning, lack of a weight room is sometimes frustrating, but when you have all day there\u2019s no excuse not to get your work in at home. Hopefully this is just temporary, and we will all be back in the gym soon enough. <\/p>\n
Now onto the rest of my day. Because staying in shape only takes up to a few hours each day, there\u2019s a lot of room for other hobbies, sometimes too much. One thing I\u2019ve taken advantage of during the last seven months is actually learning how to cook, which is essential at some point. After being spoiled by access to the dining hall in college, and the free meals in Eilat last year, I knew it was time to get good at it myself. If there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned in the last few weeks, the fruits and vegetables in Kiryat Ata are delicious. <\/p>\n
As for non-essentials, I\u2019ve been using the myCareer on NBA 2K21 for Xbox One as a substitute for not being able to actually play basketball, as I\u2019m sure a lot of other players in my position are doing. Compliment that with catching up on my TV Shows, mainly Peaky Blinders and Sons of Anarchy as of late, and the lockdown hasn\u2019t been all that bad. Of course I can\u2019t forget NFL RedZone on Sunday nights, and occasionally waking up in the middle of the night to catch the last quarter of an NBA playoff game – unfortunate ending for my Celtics but wow Jimmy Butler was spectacular in game 3…<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all for now. I\u2019m looking forward to providing my experiences throughout the rest of this journey whenever we return to relatively normal lifestyles, whenever that is. I\u2019m wishing health and safety upon everyone during these trying times!<\/p>\n
