I'm Junius Ho, and this is How I Play

Player, GM and hoops fanatic Junius Ho is entering his 12th season of Ultimate Hoops league play. We've been dying to know how this UH champion balances his UH life with the real world. So we asked him.

What time do you get up on UH game days?

8am

What's the first thing you do when you wake up?

Check my sleep quality with my Sleep Cycle app.

What does your game day breakfast meal consist of?

Don't tell my parents, but I don't usually eat breakfast.

Do you do anything differently at your day job on game days?

Instead of checking ESPN.com for fantasy news, I'm breaking down match-ups position-by-position matchups using uhlife.com.

My usual pre-game meal is…

Something light - usually a half sandwich or cup of soup and a salad. I'm also hydrating throughout the day.

How soon after your game do you check uhlife.com ?

Don't tell the cops, but on the car ride home.

What do you like to do after your game to wind down?

After games, I love hanging out with teammates and other UH junkies, watching other games and talking hoops. Game night means a minimum of two hours at Life Time Fitness.

What is on your pre-game music playlist?

Don't tell anyone, but it's a mix of super poppy girl group songs that helps get the workday behind me and put me in a good mood. The #LETSGO intensity comes after opening tip and I don't want to use it up too early.

Any crazy superstitions on game day you must adhere to?

I have to send out a detailed scouting report before our game and I have very specific gear I wear: headband, shorts, socks, even underwear.

What do you pack in your UH Game Day duffle bag?

Besides the obvious shorts, shoes and jersey, I always have my protective ensemble: goggles, elbow pad, knee pad, knee brace and mouthguard. For Fob Five games, I rock the Jerry Far East long-sleeve warm-up shirt.

In the few hours after work and before my UH game I like to….

Text my teammates and get psyched for the game.

When I arrive at Life Time Fitness on game night, my usual dress attire consists of...

Business wear, as I'm coming straight from work. Sometimes I get some funny comments about how people don't recognize me because my #LETSWORK attire and accessories vary greatly from my #LETSGO gear.

Any tips or tricks you are willing to share?

Sleep is critical and just about everything you need to know about winning can be found on uhlife.com.

I would love to have _____ answer these questions.
