So as many of you know, I just went to Holland as a soccer coach with People to People Sports Ambassadors. I was coaching 15 year old girls from all over the USA and we competed in the YFGH tournament.
Our first day was outrageous. I flew from Seattle straight to Amsterdam (10hours) then we went directly to the Youth Friendship Village. With my travel group from Seattle, we did some team building activities and around 3pm departed to our different hotels. Oh ya, it was raining cats and dogs the entire time. Once we got to our hotel I met the girls on my team. After 37 hours of being awake we finally went to bed. zzzzzzzz
The first two days was training with the girls and then on Tuesday the tournament started. My team did pretty well in the tournament. We made it to the semifinals but missed the finals by a one goal differential. :( It was a great experience watching the Sweden, Canadian, and Wales coaches work with their teams. I learned so much about coaching and met amazing people. We were also able to watch the boys teams play as well. They were fabulous. It is so much fun to watch great international soccer matches!
