After waking up, having a quick breakfast of avocado toast with a few hard-boiled eggs, Jordan had his bag packed, ready for a long day.
Strength training and conditioning were in the morning. The head coach wanted Jordan to get a bit leaner, so he was spending most of his time between the elliptical machine and working on his core.
After a quick team meeting to review the week's practice schedule, Jordan took a quick shower and headed over to campus for classes.

His first class was pretty early so after walking over to his second class, he was greeted like he was every morning-- a way too perky Dahlia holding a 20oz Red Bull for Jordan.
"Moooorning Jordy!"
Dahlia's singsong voice was only further proof that not only had she gotten 2 giant Red Bulls, but she had already downed hers.
As her fingers went to crack Jordan's can, he reached out for it with one hand, the other pulled outan energy bar out of his back pocket with a small smirk on his face.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. I'll take that... Thanks, Baby. Did you have breakfast?"
Dahlia rolled her eyes as she and Jordan entered the lecture hall together.
"Yes, Dad. I got a breakfast burrito this morning."
They took two seats in a middle row off to one side and before she sat down, Dahlia felt a light smack on her butt and Jordan's breath against her neck when his deep voice mumbled.
"Roll those pretty eyes again, Doll-- I dare you. I'll have you calling me Daddy later."

Dahlia and Jordan's final class of the day together was over by 2 and after, the two would have lunch with their friends, before Jordan had to report to the athletics department to go over game footage with the rest of the team.
Team practice was next, which usually went on for about two-and-a-half hours.
After that was time for the players to hit the showers and see the personal trainers, massage therapists if they needed.

Team dinners were mandatory at the training center, as were the tutoring sessions that lasted until about 9 in the evening.
Their coaches were serious about the players keeping their grades up, with anyone whose GPA fell below a 2.5 would be ineligible to play.
After long days like these, Jordan would drag his tired body over to Dahlia's and the two would end up cuddling in her bed after an hour or two of studying.

The two would usually end their night with a small fight, Dahlia whining about Jordan not staying over, while Jordan knew if he stayed over, there would be no way he'd be able to tear himself away from her in the morning.
"Cuddle with me then? At least until I fall asleep."
The pout on Dahlia's face would've been enough to have Jordan ready to scale Everest.
