Sitting at a cafe in Giessen with Bo, finishing a smoothie and watching soccer out of the corner of my eye. The European Championship is taking place this month in Austria and Switzerland. Germany won their first game last night versus Poland, which was terribly exciting for everyone except the guy who scored both German goals. He looked liked he’d just run over someone’s cat. Turns out he was born in Poland, but moved to Germany as a kid. I guess that would make for some mixed feelings.
Last week started with a day off Monday following the Osnabrueck tournament. Everyone but Jaimie and Stouty were here in Giessen/Wetzlar for the week for an unofficial players only training camp. This is what went down…
Monday June 2 – day off, dinner at a local castle
Tuesday June 3 – 2 hr practice (chair skills, scrimmage, shooting) – lifting – Licher brewery tour
Wednesday June 4 – 2 hr practice (free throw pyramids, shooting) – 2 hr evening scrimmage
Thursday June 5 – 2 hr shooting – lifting – 2 hr evening scrimmage
Friday June 6 – 2 hr practice (shooting, Deng’s chair skills dice game) – evening friendly game vs German national team
Saturday June 7 – most guys back to Canada – 90 min scrimmage vs German National team and shooting
Sunday June 8 – day off
