Introduce us to a day in your life, both on and off the field.
Blessing Okagbare:
Wake up in the morning with my prayers first, get my morning coffee depending on how I am feeling that day. Eat breakfast like 9am latest because I usually want to eat at least two hrs away from practice.
Practice starts at about 11am and run through 3pm. I am currently a volunteer assistant coach so; I get to help my coach with the college athletes through 6-6:30pm. After that I head home, shower, grab dinner and try to do some of my school work that are due. In-between all this, I find time to catch up with friends, family and love ones… social media..lol. It does change during the week depending on what other activities I have scheduled.
