A day in the life of OJ Mayo He's young, he gets good grades at school and he has lots of friends and a good relationship with his parents He also play basketball for Huntington high school Virginia USA Life is good for OJ Mayo. But it isn't always easy!
I really want to be a professional basketball player and i know i have to work hard he says He wakes up at 6.30 am every day. He starts the day with a big breakfast, then he goes i going in the park for an hour. After that, it's time for school. When he finishes he usually goes to basketball practice. The HHS team practices four days a week. They often play two games a week. OJ is always sad when they lose. Well l know it's only a games he says but losing always makes me think we think we could do better.
So with such a full programmer how does he manage well l never miss practice i sometimes worry about school because l want to get good grades, but i'm well organised so l never fall behind with my homework. I never stay out late. I always do my best and work hard both at school and on the court. Auy advice for ambitious teenagers like himself? "Always stay motivated and never give up!" OJ says
