My pointguard in life.....

Well living in a nordic country is more or less the same cold as a *********** and then suddenly it changes and weather is loevely for some days and then it could change again to depression weather.

We have had great weather for  a couple of days now and that just makes everybody and everything so much happier even if their are problems and headaches it helps. Right now I`m not working since a had shoulder surgery and are now rehabing to get my left arm/shoulder going again. I`m planning and doing some stuff for boys & girls born 98 Pre Season Invitational 14-16 september here in Horsholm.

Looks great just need some more "yes, we will come" and I can calm down a little bit. But problems like that are tiny problems to that I found out that my father is sick with the modern plague of cancer. It seems sometimes like everybody has it or have had it, or got it again. Everything that I worship in basketball and everything around it suddenly becomes less important.

I have always apricated my parents and loosing my mother way to early and now my father with this terrible cancer I just feel helpless.

Helpnesses is the worst feeling ever, I mean I can be there for my father, I can vist him and so on, but I cant help him to get well. For like 18 years  I have been helping others achieving their goals in basketball and with lots of other stuff in their lifes. If they needed to be a better shooter, well I could fix that, if they needed to be faster, I could fix that and so on.

But with my fathers cancer I can`t do anything and that plainly sucks!

We have to make the best of the time he`s got left and how long nobody knows right now.
He`s right feeling as good as he can after finding out about the cancer and that it cant be removed.

I cant do anything but hope that he never has to suffer. He`s my father, my pointguard in life and nobody wants to see a old great player struggle on the court or in life.

This post didn`t have much about basketball, but more about life, but to me life and basketball is the same.

It`s been a while

I have really been missing writing about my passion here in My World Of Basketball, but due to shoulder surgery I have had to let it rest for some time, way to long. I haven`t been able to use my left hand for 6 weeks and finally this thursday I was allowed to remove my protection.

Felt like being reborn again :-)

A lot of things have happens since I last wrote something. This season aint over yet, but it has really been a struggle in some ways and also one of the best seasons in other ways. My shoulder have really tested my mental capacity and other family issues has made it very hard to be that same old me. Thanks to skype and great friends I have been able to talk a lot about the different problem and also positive things of course.
They have really been a "shoulder" to cry on and I`m deeply greatful that I have such friends.


Basketball and coaching my two great teams has been like a oasis, where I most of the times could forget a little bit about the pain and other stuff, but also sometimes it really has made me depressed to a certain degree.


To me basketball means a lot and when I cant give my all in practices or in games it haunts me bigtime. Yes, I know.....it shouldn`t, but tell that to my brain. I want to give my all to the players I coach, if they give me their all and I cant its hard mentally. But my kids has been most of the times really discplined in practise even though I haven`t been running around in the gym like I usually do.


Both teams teams has still developed in the right direction, so of course I`m happy about that. Now I have about a month before I can go back to my work in a store again and that time will be filled with basketball and shoulder rehab and a lot of walks in the forrest. I have made a promise to myself and that starts tomorrow and hopefully I can tell you guys on a later stage that I kept my promise.

Have a great monday, I will :-)
