First Full Week of Practice

This week has been very busy. We had a full week of practice. Monday i spent most of the day at the clubhouse working on playbooks and i had scheduled some player meetings for some guys to come by and pick up their playbooks and catch them up to speed on the offense. I stopped at the Willy's on the way there and grabbed a 6 pack of Corona, a lime, and a bag of peanuts for my day in the office. The beer here is expensive. $11 for a 6pack of Corona. The local beer is like $9.

Tuesday was another shorter practice but Wednesday we had a full 2 hour practice. Thursday we split up. The defense met at the clubhouse for film and i split the offense up into two sessions. I had the WRs and QB come for an hour work-out and then the Linemen come for the second hour. We got a lot done this week. I have spent most of the week consumed with work. Doing practtice plans and loading film during the day and practice in the evening. I wanted to build a good foundation for what i want our guys to do during practice. There are times that each position group will have to spend some time on their own during practice. So my main goal this week was to give them some good drills to do for those short periods of practice when i am with another group. Luckily each position group has a very good leader and who also coach's at the youth level. I can count on them to get some quality work in for the times i can not be there with them.

Friday was a chill day. I watched a couple movies and ordered in a Falafeltallrik (Falafel on top of fries covered in hot sauce). I watched John Carter it was ok. That night i went out to a pub with a couple players. We went to Biljardkompaniet which is "The Billiard Company". It was a good night out. I went with Ben our top WR, Sorin he is a very good Slot WR/RB, the QB Phil who is also an American, and an Olineman named Kavai, an asian dude that has yet to be at practice do to work. We played America vs Sweden in pool and i think it came out pretty even. Both sides sucked very badly. This super drunk Swedish chic talked to me for like 40 minutes in Swedish the whole time. I told her i had no idea what she was saying but after a while i just let her go for it. The only thing she would say in English was that she was "very very very bad" at pool. Eventually she stumbled on to the next table. At the end of the night there was almost a drunken fight between a couple guys. I assume it was over a girl cause there was 1 girl involved. Typical though just some shoving and pushing waiting for someone to break it up. Which the bouncers did and sent everyone on their way. I was bummed though. I always enjoy front row seats to a fight.

This is Ben. He plays WR and also coaches the youth WRs. The guy photo jacking behind us is Sorin. Sorin is a slot WR/RB. He also coaches the youth level. Both Ben and Sorin work for Tyson(the GM) at Contact Sports. A sporting good store that specializes in Football, Lacrosse and Hockey.
