During the spring season, I practice every day after school for 2 hours. But during the off seasons, I practice 2-3 times a week for about 1 hour. 

Intensity- 
I enjoy pushing myself and seeing my limits as a player. As such, I practice every moment of my time working on things than need to be improved and refining abilities I am capable of.

Time- 
I always try to put as much time as possible into playing but with my busy schedule, I only get to play for about 1-2 hours at a time.]]> 2019-07-11 17:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/josbal906/j4kx0nmq4cfo/wish/370888494
