We arrived in Santa Ana, CA yesterday afternoon after the most turbulent flight I have ever been on. It also didn't help that I literally had a family doing a Chinese fire drill during the flight. Three family members were rotating seats and rotating who was holding their baby throughout the flight. Even a flight attendant got into the mix by knocking off my headphones when she walked by. She didn't even apologize. Not fun.
We headed down to our hotel on Coronado Island just outside San Diego. First order of business was to stop at the famous In-N-Out Burger. I guess it's a staple of the California diet but I think it's pretty awful. It doesn't help that I am not a fan of fast food.
As we made our trip out of San Diego we went over the Coronado Bridge which has a sign for a suicide hotline on it. Always interesting to see something like that on a bridge. On the way to our hotel we saw the area where Navy SEALS do their training. It would be awesome for our guys to see or experience how hard those guys go for their training. It would be an eye opening experience for sure.
After a couple of hours in the hotel we headed to St. Augustine HS to practice. The Saints (didn't realize they weren't creative in CA either) are home of former McDonalds All American and UCLA standout Jelani McCoy. Their head coach, Ed Baskin was nice enough to open the gym for us during our time in the San Diego area.
We had a pretty intense practice and our guys got after it pretty good. It was evident that some guys really worked over break and others didn't do much. We need to have another good one today to maintain the level we were playing at before break.
