Good week!

So yeah we had a great week this week! Jess and I had good talks last night, we are almost done with 24 season 5. We went and saw Stephi play a couple nights ago against Amigos and they won in 5! It was a good game. We had the most amazing Pitas last night! I tell you, the Pita Pit in the States has nothing on this place! SO everyone needs to come visit and try the Pitas!

So to sum up last week.... Victory. I went with a group of Zoersel Volleyball players to what they like to call the 'Stage'! It is basically a volleyball camp... And it was a blast. So they had us practice for about 3 hours a day, and then everyone would get to hang out after. Well the hanging out 90% of the time turned into huge snowball fights! All the little ones got a kick out of hitting the Adults. (Mainly Me, Mitch, and Tom). So everywhere we went we created instant snowball fights! I just learned to keep the snow in my pockets.... But I did get some head shots against the young boys and so they learned quick that they were outmatched by an experienced Halo and Waterpolo player. Gotta love those head shots, bad for the hair and bad for the moral. But my downfall was I can't go hitting the little girls in the head. So I would hit them in the legs or the thick jackets and it wasn't enough to stop them! But the bright side was I had an army of little boys who didn't want to fight against me :) Well that was a little insight to the politics and war of snowball fights. The stage ended Wednesday and I can't say how Sad I was that it ended, but also how excited I was also. I was running really low on sleep. But the camp was a blast! I am also learning tons of new ways to coach from the Dutch coaches here....

Let me tell you my new favorite sport to watch in a stadium. Football. AKA Voetball. AKA soccer. I saw the Brugge vs. Valencia European League Game and it was so awesome! Brugge wins 1-0 off of an intense game. Both teams had some super near misses. Like off the pole type of misses. There was drama with one red card and several yellow cards. And when finally the goal was scored the whole stadium went nuts! It was crazy. But probably the craziest thing.... Ask an American how much it would cost to get a Hot dog at the ball game. The answer would be 7 dollars. I got Bradworst (a giant German hot dog) for 3 euros. It was so awesome I had to get another one! But all in all the game was so amazing!

To conclude, with something unpredicted, we beat the Belgium Jr National team last friday. It was sick! This team could very well end up not losing another match the rest of the season. Not to mention it was only their 3rd loss. It was awesome! This year seems to be our year for knocking off top teams. And I have to say, we where pretty clutch. We were down 25-24 in the 4th and we sided out and then scored 2 for the victory. It was sweet! Now to keep winning the rest of the year out...

Well I am checking out for now, God Bless.
