zet mens lopen

sorry for the delay. just got done with my first day. ummm. long flight not lots of sleep, but glad to be here. i've been running on adrenaline all day and haven't really felt much fatigue. it's about 1020 right now and the internet is sketchy at the hostel we are staying at. ya a hostel... it's in a sports park and just outside of eindhoven in a place called stayokay. it's ok. the biggest surprise is there is only one other person trying out at middle. i thought i'd be short to play middle, but that's my best position. so i'm fortunate about that. there are like 25 guys trying out for opp and outside positions. i missed practice this morning and arrived at the hostel just after lunch. slept for about 2 hours then went to the evening trainings. it went well and there are some decent players trying out. i already got an offer to play in austria for a club located on the border with italy. austria is a second tier league. comparable to belgium and spain. better than scandanavia and eastern block, but not as good as greece or italy. so i'm excited to have an offer so soon. normally i'd leave to austria tonight to tryout with the club tomorrow, but since i'm a valuable position the agency is making me stay till the end to run practices with full teams and not just a bunch of outsides playing all the positions. i'm glad too, it'll give me more chances to talk to other coaches and see what else is out there. so ya day one is done and i'll write again tomorrow. it looks like we will be scrimmaging a local dutch team tomorrow evening so that will be fun. alright kids. hope that was an ok entry. i hope to have more time tomorrow to write.

nighters
