Day 3 on a camp

I was today again watching some of the camps practises and this is day 3 always the hardest day, players and coaches are pretty tired after so many hours in the gym. Now the kids are feeling it in their body (also coaches lol) and some kids have one million excuses not to practice, som just because they are little tired. This camp has god rule and if you dont practice during the day, you dont play games at the end of the day.

I have been to others where suddenly the kids which couldn`t practice during the day now are healthy and wanna play and they have let them. Thats wrong in my book.

Had my second practice with the girls 98 and we went through the physical exercises again and we will do that again on wednesday and after that I hope most of them do it 3-4 or moree a week. I will see which ones that have taken up the challenge and whom just have facebooked and been at the beach.

After a great practice with the girls I went to where the coaches at the camp sleep and had some nice talks with them. Surrounded with other basketballidiots I just feel at home, its just like that.

Now time for bed and tomorrow, well I will propably go and watch some more at the camp, but now bed.

Missing it already

I admit I`m a basketballjunkie and I need my fixes or I go into withdrawel syndrom :-)

Its strange during the years I have heard so many being tired of basketball and they are glad that the season soon is over. They are excited about going on a long break and so on, well I never had that feeling about the actuall practices, games, but the other officework that I have had to do, to be able to do the stuff I know and enjoy that I have been tired of, Oh yes....

This week I have had only one practise with my new team in girls 98 (will coach boys and girls 98 next season).
Yesterday I was watching the camp for ages 99-01 practise and got a little quick fix atleast :-)

2nd to 6th I will be working on the camp for ages 95-98 and it will be so much fun. Its not just the actual practices but the coaches and the atmosphere that gets me that hight. This camp is fun because there are coaches from allover and that makes it very fun.

Why? Well the ball is round, and the basket are on 3.05, but there are so many different teaching technics, cultures, personalities, so discussions at night are tremendous.

This years camp there are coaches from, Croatia, Serbia, Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark, Spain.

Soon time to get on the dancefloor and my dancefloor is the basketbalcourt cant wait to dance.
