My Mom asked me what I would do if I was in charge of training the Jazz players.  So I came up with my own program.   At my school, we can choose to run the “Gold Medal Mile”.  At break we run the half mile course and we get a […]

The Olympics are over, and its September.  The general dearth of basketball in my life inspired the following.  I encourage everyone to come up with their own Jazz Haiku and share it with us (especially if its funny or clever) in the comment section.
September, silent.
Spalding sits idle, waiting;
The hardwood beckons.
Autumn’s promise,
The Jazz season approaches
My heart’s song begins.

‘Dream Team’
Shortly after Team USA left Beijing having recovered the Gold Medal in Men’s Basketball – the comparisons started and a question debated. Which team is better, “Dream Team” or “Redeem Team” – who would win if they could have somehow time warped and played each other. While the debate played out through the media […]

‘The softer side of practice’ (Deseret News)
Written By:  Brooke Mueller (14 yrs old)
I used to see the Jazz play and think about how hard they must have to practice.  I thought that there was ‘the games’ and then there were ‘the practices’.  But, I am beginning to see another side to the athletic world.  The ’training’ side of […]
