Today was the calm before the storm. We had a video session this morning to prepare our match against Brazil followed by a 2:00pm training session at Iteso University - that's right, in the gym with 3 walls. The practice went well and the guys seem to have gotten their "game legs" back. Then, Vincent and I had the (still) ever popular General technical meeting. Like the one for the women's tournament, Norceca President Cristobal Marte took everyone by surprise and held the meeting to 65 minutes. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks ?
So there is no turning back now. All the guys are excited about finally starting their Pan American Games tournament. Win or lose, this young group of guys will undoubtedly learn a lot from this experience. After all, this is what our Full Time Center is all about.
