Bill Self Delivers Kansas Fans Another Encouraging Health Update

Kansas head coach Bill Self met with the media on Wednesday during a press conference to discuss the Jayhawks' upcoming season.

Self addressed several topics, including roster construction and players who have stood out in early practices.

However, one of the main subjects he touched on was his health. The Hall of Fame coach underwent a procedure in July to have two stents inserted in his heart, his second such operation in the past three years.

Despite that, Self said he is feeling much better and remains optimistic about his long-term health.

"I feel fine. I feel good," Self said. "I’ve had a couple of wake-up calls, but this was probably a bigger knot on my head than even the first one."

"The way it’s probably changed (me) as much as anything, I’ve never been one of healthy habits, so to speak, but I’ve gotten a lot better," he continued. "I haven’t had any fried food or fast food or red meat or yellow cheese or anything in three months almost. God, what a way to live, but I actually feel a lot better."

"I think I have more energy this year coaching so far than last year for sure. Sometimes I don’t know that we know that we feel that bad until we actually feel good and you see the difference, because I was kind of just going through the motions. I definitely feel better than I did. It’s noticeable."
