First and foremost. I would like to apologize for the recent decline in posting. While one might think coaching American Football in a foreign land is an easy go, I can assure you it's no picnic. My day starts between 9:00 and 11:00 am. I have to work out whenever I please. I'm at least a ten minute bike ride from everywhere that I need to go. Times are tough, but cut me some slack here!
Sarcasm aside, I promise to be more vigilant with posting ... starting tomorrow. I do stay quite busy with "Training" here (that's what the Danes call 'Practice'), especially since our first "match" is fast approaching. I work with four teams: Under 13, Under 16 (of which I've actually been promoted to Head Coach), Under 19 and Senior (which I'll start playing for soon, too). That requires quite a bit of preparation. Also, when I come home, I sometimes have to provide commentary to online video from practices. While I'm not sitting around talking about why Ross did whatever he did during Season 6 of Friends (which I believe is still running on the air here), I do make notes about how my guys did on certain plays. This is pretty awesome way to get film study done, particularly when we can't always meet to do it on our own.
Training has gone very well so far. We're starting to get better at the techniques I'm installing. We still have plenty of work to do, but I can honestly say I have a great group of guys (young and old) who want to get better. Pretty good feeling knowing that about your players.
Very tired now and more posts/pictures will follow, more frequently starting tomorrow. I have some pretty good stuff saved up from this week, including possibly the biggest discovery since they found that alien casino on the moon. What, that never happened? Well, this is bigger than that WOULD have been. Stay tuned to find out!
