Nick Lindner: Mentally Tough on and off the Court

Image
Forty seconds remain in the 2015 Patriot League men’s basketball championship and Lafayette is up by one. Lafayette is hosting American University in Kirby Sports Center Arena. The stands are packed with Lafayette students, all geared up in white for the “whiteout” theme. The crowd has been rowdy all night long, but at this moment, they are quiet. All eyes are glued on Lafayette point guard, Nick Lindner, as he tries to put the game away for the Leopards. Lindner controls the ball on the left wing of the court. Using a screen from center Dan Trist, Lindner drives to the right side. Lindner drives right past the American help defender and finds the angle to get off his shot. With his eyes focused on the rim and while getting bumped by an American defender, Lindner scoops the ball softly off the backboard and through the net. The basket counts and the ref calls a foul on American. Lindner stares at the Lafayette student section as the crowd erupts. L...

Get Ready for Game 5 Wednesday Night

Coming into the playoffs, most media pundits would agree that the Boston Celtics were an overrated #1 seed. They do not have a ton of talent, and were by no means, a dominant team in the NBA in the regular season. After losing the first two games of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series to the #8 seeded Chicago Bulls, the Celtics were proving these Pundits right. Although the series is now tied 2-2 after four games, the Celtics did not come into the series ready to play. In the first game, the problem was rebounding.   The Celtics got outrebounded by 20 boards, and the Celtics big men were struggling to contain Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez. In the second game, the problem was outside shooting.  The C’s shot just 10-33 from beyond the arc, which is not ideal for a team that relies on the 3-point shot. The top team in the east lost both games on their home court, and everyone started to question them. Fans and media members were...

Clairemont Times: Farewell, San Diego

Image
When I decided to do a road trip seven months ago from Boston to San Diego, I had no idea what to expect. I had studied abroad in Italy for a semester in college, so I anticipated what it would be like living in a drastically different place. However, unlike my experience in Italy, this was not an organized program with students my age. I was not in college anymore, and I knew it would be different. I had no job. I had no apartment. I had never even been to California, let alone San Diego. Besides traveling to San Diego with my friend from my hometown and knowing a couple of older kids who had graduated from my high school, everything else was foreign to me. I wrote a piece for the Clairemont Times when I first arrived describing a sense of culture shock. In other words, I could not believe that was I here. The palm trees. The Mexican influence. The beach and outdoor culture. All of it was and still is, surreal. As I now leave San Diego and head back to Bos...
