First Day of Training

Hola,

We have had a great night´s sleep and were well rested for our morning training session.

What a incredible opportunity to work with one of the elite coaches in Argentina. Lalo Junquet provided a wonderful first day of hockey- observing the team and then running them through a series of drills that built upon one another and helped them with not only their technical skills, but also their vision and tactical game.

It was cold and gray with sprinkles towards the end of our two hour session, but none of that dampened the enthusiasm or insensity that our team showed. The slight language barrier turned out to be a good thing as Lalo demonstrated the skills and the team had to listen carefully and figure out what it was he wanted them to do.

We have our first match this evening, so we will see how things get put together!

We are also trying to figure out how to post photos- we will do our best!

Ciao!
