A day in the life of Kim Smith

Kim Smith here going to let you know what my days look like on our 12 day break.  I wake up around 9 every morning, when we are not in training camp.  I like to sleep in because starting Saturday the alarm will be going off at 720!  I don't think a lot of people on the team are morning people.  While we are all personable enough let's just say it's not our finest hour.  I eat a big breakfast and then get ready for the gym.  

At the gym I make 150 warm up shots starting at 15ft and finishing off with 3's.  Then the fun starts I spend the next 45-60 minutes doing different shots off the move.  A few examples would be to make a 3, run to center make a 2 back to center and repeat, five makes at each spot.  I work curl shots and flare shots off down screens.  I also mix in taking it to the hole and finishing with defense.  In between all of these I shoot a few free throws as well as 3 pointers.  When I get tired I tend to stop using my legs so I try to shoot outside shots when I am a little fatigued.  I always end my workout with 10 free throws in a row and a lay up on each side.  I started this in high school and have been doing it ever since.  

After my shooting workout is over I head back to eat some lunch.  If it is a lifting day I head out to the weight room before dinner time.  Depending on how my legs feel I do a quick cardio workout while at the weight room.  My favorite is deep water running... it is easy on my joints which I love!  

After weights I am back for dinner, I take full advantage of home cooked meals (I don't like eating out).  I love going to the movies so I may catch a movie or just hang out at home and get ready for the next day.
