Hey everybody as you might have heard I just came back from London. But before I tell you that let me tell about everything else that’s been going on.as in the week before last week. I didn’t get to train as much as usual or as much as Id like to because Tuesday night got cancelled and then I was sick for the week so I didn’t wanna train with the top division team. Anyway at the school everybody was getting ready to go on their trips. Like we went to Liverpool and the soccer team went to Amsterdam and Germany. The other kids and most of the shawtys went to Spain on a nice vacation. Yeah but before I left I had to goto work with my 3rd division club nah mean. And we lost. I don’t remember the score but it wasn’t good I had 4 or 5 goals and I didn’t play so well seeing that I was sick. Anyways it was bad. So I just went Liverpool.
Now Liverpool was dope. Well it wasn’t that dope but it was really good to get out of the school. We didn’t train as much as we planned. But we played a practice match against 1 of the top teams in England. We tied but the team we played wasn’t that good. I thought we were easily the better team. But the level was around our sr league at home some of our better teams. Then we trained once and played a practice match against another club team and I think our top jr teams would’ve beaten them. But still it was good to see another developing country in handball. You can really see how far along we’ve come. That sums up the handball experience the rest of the sight seeing was alright we went to the first pub the beetles have ever performed at. But the coolest thing of all was going to old Stratford. Yes that’s right matty where Manchester united plays. It was dope we got to go into the locker room and all kinds of stuff. Friday morning we got home and I just rested all weekend until my game. On Sunday we played the second best team in the league. And lost by 5 I think it was good because we played a lot better then we’ve been playing lately. I had three goals and I played left wing for the whole first half. But word up mans are getting tired and I'm falling asleep so ill catch up with yall next tyreezy out.

Hey everybody whats up. I'm sure you’ve all been wondering what I’ve been up to. And the answer to that is same old. Except for the head coach of a top division club asked me if I would like to practice with them. He said come whenever you like. Even though I have this great opportunity I have to put my club first and train with them so ill train with the top club when I can. Speaking of my club things aren’t going so well right now. Since my last blog we have played 2 games. For hopes of moving up had to win them both including our last four (that we haven’t played yet). However we lost our first one by 10 or so. That game I had 5 goals and quite a bit of steals. It was an average day in the office. Then that weekend we had a weekend off so I just chilled at the school. It was the start to a pretty good week. This week consisted of regular trainings with the school and Tuesday night off with my club. We still trained Thursday and I think I had the worst training I’ve ever had. Me and the ball were not friends not even for a second. Anyway I'm over that.
As for the school not much has been going on. We started Danish class again. But yo we get homework now it aint even fair. Like I graduated high school. I guess its still good and my Danish is getting better but I'm definitely not good. And then my multi art class is um shilling. Actually the school is pretty chilling like on Wednesday night Casper my Danish homie that plays on the national team came for a visit. It was fun to have him here and he trained with us on Thursday morning. Then we went downtown because he’s never been to Arhus so we just checked it out. And that’s was the start to a dope ass weekend. It was home weekend for all the other kids so they went home and everyone else here made plans to go party in the city minus a few of us. Friday was chilling it was so nice to not wake up till lunch time. Then I just relaxed until I went training with the professional team. This training was dope. First of all the size difference and the speed difference from the 3rd to division or to home srs or jrs is just to big. Anyway this is the perfect training for me because when there are working on their team stuff. The assistant coach takes me on the other side and just works on my footwork and technique. Just so good. Then after that I got to play with them in 6 on 6. The best part is I did pretty well. My friend who plays on that team said I did well and the coach to. He just gave me some friendly pointers in my technique and invited me to come back whenever so I’ll start going 1-2s a week until my season is finished and then ill go a lot more often.
To sum up this blog just have to talk about the weekend. Let’s start with Friday night after training we all went out for dinner I think there was 25 of us. It was so good to get out of the school. Then me and my roommate went to the candy shop and came home well the rest went partying. Saturday there was a party at the school for older students who went here at least 5 years ago. We went and hung out there a little, while again everyone else went downtown. Then Sunday was game day. Some how we drew 20-20. I think I had 1 of my best defensive games this year, I knew it because I was hurt everywhere after the game. First I got shouldered in the face then a wicked Charlie horse which I can still fell and it is now Wednesday. Then I jammed my thumb and now that’s all swollen. Then to top it all off I got kneed in the balls. I only had 1 goal but at least I shot 100%. Then I came back to the school and limped my way to some dinner.

Hey everybody how’s it going? I know I'm a little behind on my blogs that’s because last week the school was gone on a ski trip so there wasn’t much going on. Not even club matches. However we did train that week with my club. And with the school we played a game. I don’t know how many goals we had but we were up by 8 and then we kind of shut it off so we lost by 1. That sums up all the excitement for that week. Last week was a little better everyone returned from their ski trip to Italy. And at the same time the u18 British guys came to train with us and play against some top u18 clubs in Denmark.
Monday night we played a mini tournament with the u 18s and skovbakken jylland series 1 team so basically div 4. It was okay but we did not play to well. Tuesday 3 of us from the academy got to train with the u 18s. Wednesday was a beautiful day off. So me and mr America and a girl from Estonia took a nice long drive to Germany. While there we went to some border shots and got some candy and quite a bit of pop. But that’s not all while there we also got to see a bundasleague match. It was Flensburg vs something with a g it was amazing. It was a sold out match so there was about 6000 people I think. And the best part of this day was that we got in for free. After being about 10 mins late for the game. We had to stand but it was 100% worth it. Oh also that day I did a little modeling for new thing it’s these lights that you can use for training. www.fitlighttraining.com if you go to this website and checkout the video on the main page you’ll see that me and 1 of the other boys from the academy are the main ones in it. So they came back and asked to take some pictures of us in action it. Being a model is tiring work lol. But that was a busy busy Wednesday. Thursday was training in the morning and then the u18s britian guys played against a top u18 club in Denmark who are just so good. 2 of them play in the top division here. Then Friday we played all kinds of drills against the u18s it was a pretty good training. That finally started the weekend.
Now this weekend was pretty cool why you might ask because me and mr America hosted a big party at the school. We had a glow in the dark themed party it was pretty stressful planning it out all week but it was fun. And the best part was that it turned out soo good I think it was the best party since ive been here. Word up it was dope. Everyone was impressed they were so happy. Except the Danish kids were complaining about the music they just aren’t balling like we are in north America. Sunday was just a rest day seeing that I had no games for the second weekend in a row but this weekend we start again. I look forward to it and can’t wait to tell you about it because we have to win all six more matches for a chance to move up to the second division. But until I’ll see you guys later odious amigos.

Hey everybody you ready for an action packed week of handball? Yeah I thought so. Well this week started with a beautiful workout in the morning. Then we had training later in the afternoon but because our academy goalie got hurt playing soccer we did some agility training. And of course it was hard just elastic and jumping and passing. After that beautiful session I found out that in 2 hours id be leaving to practice with a top division club. So I had me some food and some chocolate milk. Before we started training we got to see the u18 shea academy. Its an academy where they try and get the best players from all over Denmark and they train a lot! And what can I say other then that they were fricken good. They were also big I mean height some of them were real tall others were just ripped. Oh and they're only 18. But yo then the pro team came in and damn they was even bigger And faster. Anyway training with them was so good. I wish I could train with them all the time. And a little side bonus was that the u21 national team goalie was there starting goalie and I got to shoot on him for like 20mins it was dope. By the end of the day I was beyond tired but it was a good tired. And this was only Monday.
Tuesday was…… I cant remember what we did with the academy. Seeing that the goalie is still hurt but I do remember that it was a bad training because everybody just sucked that day couldn’t even catch a ball. Then I had club training that night. Wednesday was the greatest day off ever. Thursday had training in the morning and club training at night it was pretty much the same as always. Except I went to physio because of my shin sprints. And yes I mean sprint not splints. Why you ask it’s because I'm just to fast. And that man Is magic. My legs are much better now but they have their days where I just shouldn’t train. Friday was the best training we had all week (with the academy). We had a coach from the team I trained with on Monday night and I took like a million shots. Mans were tired but it was good then we did lots of decision making. Saturday was chilling just relaxed. Sunday was game day we played against the team in first place. It was a close game but in the last 5 -10mins we gave up and lost by 6.i had 2 goals. Okay day in the office. And that’s the week. A lot of handball but time for me to go peace out yall

Hey everybody I guess youre all wondering what ive been up to? The answer to that is handball. I didn’t right a blog for my last week here because I thought id just tell everyone in person however I didn’t get to see everybody so I think that’s a good place to start.
That week I had no school training because it was the end of the school year so everybody was preparing to say good bye. I did have club training still though. And we were preparing for a rivial match. It was unreal 750 spectators. It was unreal. We won by 7 I think, I had 3 goals. Then I flew back to Canada xmas was good I trained with my peeps it was good to be home I can’t lie. Although training without stickum. Oh that was hard. Other then that I just ate chicken and hung out with my friends mostly just hanging out at the crib. Before I knew It I was back in the Denmark. Although I wasn’t the only to come back to the school early so it was good that I wasn’t alone. Anyway I played a game that week and we tied. Even though we should have probably won by 5. But we were missing a lot of players oh and I had my worst game in handball history I felt like a rookie. Somehow I had 2 goals. Then the school started and we trained all of last it week. It was so good to get back into it. The schedule is the same as last year but this year are a few more players in the academy so its a lot better. Plus trainings on Tuesdays and Thursdays as usual. On Sunday I played another game with my club and we tied again. I don’t know how we do it but we definitely should’ve won that game. Had 3 goals. Still playing right wing so Its tough sometimes but at least I'm playing. Now the school is just settling in everyone getting to know each other but i guess I have to take a part of it. So I must say bye for now later guys.

Hey everybody hope all is well at home. What can I say it about this week? It was alright the school is still just settling in but the handball is still there so that’s all that really matters. The school handball is getting much better ten last just because we have more players so we can do a lot more stuff. And we have a new coach and he’s also a very good coach I get lots of feedback from him. School wise the week has been pretty boring just school lol. This year I'm taking multi art because I took the coaching course already so now I just be chilling. And I know you’re wondering why multi art and the answer is there’s a lot of shawtys in that class. I'm also starting to think I'm blessed because I got 2 good roommates in a row and so of the other people weren’t so lucky. This man is a soccer player from Iceland. ( I almost wrote football).
Now handball this week has also been pretty interesting because mr.usa found a club in the 3rd division and yup you guessed it we played against each other this weekend. It would’ve been so fun but I did not play well at all. I mean at all. it was my first game with zero goals and I had some silly turnovers as well but we won just barely. Somehow the score was 14-13. And 9-7 at half. Out club also just got a new goalie and he played outstanding so maybe things are starting to look more up for our club. But for me things can only get better the sooner they get back to the way it was before xmas the better. But it’s time to hit the gym. Ill hollla at yall next week.
