Day In The Life VLOG: Lockdown Workouts (Episode 1)

Ethan Khoza documents a lockdown day balancing video production and basketball coaching. He finished a 30-minute workout video and ran two evening gym sessions covering ball-handling, finishing, and live play, despite the gym running cold at 38 to 56 degrees.

So it's 10:30 right now. Just got up a little bit late, but it was a late night and it's gonna be a late night tonight as well. Got a lot of stuff going on today. Got a couple workouts going on later in the day, but I wanted to start off the day trying to get a video out. So I'm gonna take you guys through a little behind the scenes of how I actually go through my process of making a video. This video that I'm making is a little bit different than normal, but the process is pretty similar. So it's about 10:30 right now. I like to actually get my videos done the day before. I like to put post them like in the morning. I just found that's, that's the best time to post them, but I might drop it a little bit later. Day probably one or two. So real quick, this is my setup when I record and I'm like, you know, I'm on camera. I've got a pretty big softbox over there, actually just got that. And actually you guys will see over there, right on top of my Xbox, which I haven't turned on in about eight months. You guys will see. I actually have a webcam that I've used. It's got really good quality, but lately it's been kind of slow. So I'm actually going to get another camera actually that's coming on Wednesday. So this is the last video I record with that webcam. So then I use this other light on my left just to kind of give me a little bit of a counterbalance with that softbox over there, my mic here, my computer. And that's basically the basic setup. Today's video that I'm making is all about creating a workout schedule and actually structuring your workouts that I'm literally going to take you guys step by step through how I do it. So I'll get a little bit on camera, then I'll scream record to the rest of it. But overall it shouldn't be too long of a process. Alright guys, so I just finished up recording the video. It's like almost 30 minutes long. If you guys, when you guys are watching this vlog, you actually this video will be out for a couple of days, so make sure you guys check it out. And I think it'd be very, very, very valuable for you guys. I'll literally just take you through exactly how to structure your workouts, how to set up a workout schedule that's gonna work best for you. Very, very valuable. So go ahead and Check that out. So it's about noon right now. Just finished up the video, got it rendering. So about to get ready for the day, hopefully a haircut. Then I'll get back and then upload that video to YouTube, get it all posted. Then we'll head over to the gym. Like I said, I got a couple workouts today and I'll tell you guys through with me. So heading over to get a haircut right now. Trying to get a haircut with COVID and all that stuff and trying to get what we set up. It's just like. It's like pulling teeth. But we're heading over there right now. So these guys are gonna enjoy it. We got Cameron in the back too. They're gonna have to. No visitors allowed. So it's gonna be me inside there. These two guys gonna get. Sit in the car the whole time. Hopefully they enjoy that. Now can we go into Chick? Yes sir. We're going triple A. So at the barber, got my little omelet, you know, healthy eats. Gotta get going today. I haven't eaten yet today. Got a little, some eggs, sausage, red peppers. I think this is, I don't know what this other stuff, it might be some more cheese in it too. But gotta stay healthy. Right now we gotta wait outside the barber because of COVID so can't wait inside. See this little number system up there. I have an appointment at once. So we're just gonna chill, wait until then. He's gonna grab some food and I'm up to you guys as soon as we're done with that. Just got the cut, we're back. Gonna go Finish uploading this YouTube video, get the workouts for today laid out and then we'll head over to the gym and get these workouts. Alright guys, so it's about 4 o' clock right now. We're heading over to the gym, have our first workout at 5:30 and another one at 7. I like to get there a little early just to be able to get everything set up, get the gym warmed up, get myself ready to go, all that stuff. So this first group that we'll have in is gonna be all high school guys. And then our second group's gonna be a mix. Couple high school guys, couple college guys. But it'll be good work overall. I've got a GU film today, so you guys will see that entire second workout and you guys will see some, some pieces of both workouts throughout the rest of this vlog. So stay tuned for that and I'll see you guys as soon as we get to the GY SAM 46. So part of the reason why I get here so early, I have here at least an hour, usually like an hour and a half before. It's because, like, like, you guys just saw walk in the gym the winter, and it'll be like, today's a warm day. It's 46 right now in here. But I'll walk in here sometimes. It'll be like, 38, 39. So we got to give it a little bit of time before guys get in so we can at least have a little bit of heat going on in here. The ventilation and the. And, like, the. The heating system is all kind of messed up. So that's. That's point number one when we walk in here. So today's workout, probably both workouts, gonna be a lot of attacking closeouts. We'll start off with some ball handling for both groups, a little bit of finishing. Then we're gonna into some stuff attacking. I got split cat shot face. And then we'll play live off it. We got a good groups today, too. It'll play live, so we'll do that. I love to be able to get guys playing live because the best way to implement all the stuff that we do is by, like, be competing with it. So two good groups to do that today, and then we'll get a lot of shots up as well. So I also like to get here a little early just so I can kind of run through things and rehearse it. I'm a very, like, visual. Like, I have to do things so that I get them. So I had to get here before. I have my workouts already planned out, but then I like to go through it myself just to get everything down. The thing with, like, training is it's really like learning something two times because you have to actually learn it yourself, but then you have to teach it to somebody else. And then really there's a third level to it, which is now I have to get it so that they can do it better than I can do it, and I can critique them to the point where it's better than what I'm doing. So that all starts with me getting here and being prepared with all that stuff so that I can be the best that I can possibly be when it comes to that next step. When it comes to learning Sain, when you pass them, he starts driving. You get up to the corner, and if he asked you, he's got another takeaway there. So we didn't play often. So finished workout 1. Had my high school guys in here did a lot of stuff, as you guys saw. Started with some ball handling stuff, got into a lot of competitive stuff out of ball handling and then into some shooting, shooting stuff, working on relocation, driving, kick, all that sort of stuff. Just the basic skills you've got to have. The way the game, basketball is played. That's. That's the kind of situation that we were trying to build to. This next workout is going to be a lot of similar stuff. Going to add a couple more shooting builds. Aside from that, it's going to be very, very similar in terms of what the skills are trying to build. It's really, really simple stuff. So we'll hop into it and I'll keep you guys updated with it. SA just finished up last workout. Very, very solid workout. A lot of shots up, a lot of reps, a lot of tough shots that we had to make today. Overall, solid day in the gym. Probably head home, get something to eat right now and then get a little bit of editing done with this vlog. So you guys will see this very, very soon as we're heading out. Gym's a nice little 56. Perfect weather right there. There's a lot of days where we're not touching in that 56. So very, very grateful that we're up there right now. If you guys like this, make sure you guys are subscribed.
