11 SAN FRANCISCO Frank Gore Located across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, Oakland is a city of over 400,000, jam-packed with exciting attractions, stimulating arts and an ideal climate. Oakland s charm exceeds its man-made wonders, as its tumbling hills, vast forests, hiking and riding trails, beautiful lakes and numerous parks provide a natural escape for those who prefer nature over an urban environment. Berkeley, just a 12-mile drive from San Francisco, is situated on 17.7 square miles with a population of just under 103,000 people. A study in contrasts, Berkeley is a small town with a big city character. With its world-renowned university, global population and rich diversity of cultural arts, Berkeley reflects and affects the rest of the country. YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK Sports fans can see it all in the Bay Area - professional football (San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders), professional basketball (Golden State Warriors), professional baseball (San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics), professional hockey (San Jose Sharks) and outstanding collegiate competition (six Division I schools).

16 Ac a d e m i c Achievement ACADEMIC GAME PLAN Comprehensive Program Focuses on Golden Bear Academic Achievement On the court, Golden Bears compete against the best that the NCAA has to offer.

17 St r e n g t h & Co n d i t i o n i n g Cal basketball s physical development program is designed to improve and develop the physical qualities that are specific to basketball. Programs are tailored for each student-athlete based on position, physical profile and style of play. Training is a year-round process that not only prepares players for the upcoming season, but also provides development throughout their careers at Cal. The year is broken down into training phases that build upon each other and provide optimal progress without the threat of burnout. Each student-athlete s progress is monitored, recorded and assessed daily in order to ensure that goals are achieved. Equally as important, the intense training environment creates an atmosphere that develops teamwork and cohesiveness well before the season begins each fall. For us, it s about creating a common sacrifice. We have a lot of individuals, but once they re here, that becomes their commonality. We have created a high level of expectations and communication within the men s basketball team. During 7 a.m. workouts over the summer, players had to come in early and function at a high level as a group. The bond that is created and the common sacrifice that comes along with that are the building blocks of bringing them together as a championship team. The work that they re doing is not easy work; it s not pretty. It s a difficult opportunity for them to come together as a group. That s when groups figure it out. When everything is good and it s easy, anybody can get through that. You don t need to rely on each other for that. When it s difficult, and there s a common expectation, that s when teams have to bond, problem solve and be a unit. That s the philosophy behind the demands we put on them, particularly over the summer. Mike Blasquez, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach CalBears.com California Golden Bears Men's Basketball 17

18 Community Service Service back to the community is a big part of being a Golden Bear, and the men s basketball team is an active participant. Above, Cal players sign posters during their annual December trip to nearby Children s Hospital in Oakland.

Max Zhang, a native of China, even read Green Eggs and Ham in Mandarin to the students. Below, Theo Robertson also read to the students. 18 California Golden Bears Men's Basketball CalBears.com
