Back in the States!

After about two months of the most traveling I have ever done, I finally stepped foot on American soil again.  Looking back at it all, I wouldn't take one second of it back, even if I did have to travel for a total of 37 hours to get from Melbourne to Amsterdam!   

I was privileged enough to play in the Australian Hockey League and help Darwin to a 7th place finish, yes that might only be one place better than last, but we did end on a good last game at least!   I got to travel to Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne.....such an amazing country.  Next time I go, I am definitely going to have to rent a Wicked Camper and drive the entire country!  

My next adventure lead me to Holland to help coach a U-16 team from San Diego in a club tournament.  We spent the first few days scrimmaging teams around Amsterdam, and then bused down to Valkenswaard, where we took on some of the best in the country.  Our girls held strong and taught me a thing or two about persistence.  

Now it is back to reality, I am here in San Diego practicing this week and then off to Argentina to compete against some of the world's best!

That's all for now!
