Hi! My name is Hillary Wenning.  I am a sophomore at the University of Indianapolis.  I'm so excited that for the next several months I will be keeping you all updated on the my life as a UIndy Women's Basketball player and on the rest of the team and our season. :) 

Ever since classes started on August 25th, our preseason has been under way.  Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we had workouts with the coaches in groups of four for 40 minutes, and also, a strength and conditioning workout with our trainer Joe for about an hour and half.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays we had open gym which consisted of us scrimmaging each other for an hour.  After open gym Joe would come down and put us through a quick sprint workout as well.

As of Wednesday, however, preseason was over and our regular season officially began. :)  Season started with a bang with a 5:30am practice.  I know what your probably thinking... "5:30 is so early!" and yes it is but sometimes we all must sacrifice our time to become better players and teammates.  Our head coach, Coach Freeland, calls this "Delayed Gratification" meaning, put in hard work today and sacrifice your time, and you will reap the benefits of your work on a later occasion.  Trust me, the wait is worth it. :) 

I'm so excited for games to begin!  Our first game is against Indiana State University on November 1st.  Then on the 4th we play at Indiana University.  And then on the 5th we leave for Disneyland in California for a tournament.  So as you can see our schedule is VERY busy.  Hopefully you can make it to a game this year.  Our home opener is Saturday November 22nd vs. Tiffin.  I will keep all of you posted on the progress of our season about once every two weeks and I will try and get into the rhythm of always posting on Wednesdays. 

Until Next Time!
Go Greyhounds!
