Buenas Noches from Nicaragua!
Today was a very successful 'first' day of camp! Although the camp started last week, this week has mostly different staff and the themes for this week are teamwork and sportsmanship as opposed to a more individual atmosphere last week.
In the morning we had about 15 girls and a few young boys show up and in the afternoon there were many more. Jessie and I both were in charge of groups and it was very interesting to try to explain drills without any soccer vocabulary!
In between the sessions we were able to return to our host family and eat a soup that was absolutely delicious with tons of vegetables that our host mother introduced us to. Although we still don't know exactly what we ate, it was incredible.
In the evening, we held a coaching clinic to teach premier level coaches how to run efficient and beneficial training sessions. It’s been quite a long day and you should have seen how dirty our legs were after playing in straight dirt all day long! We can already tell it will be an amazing experience.
Granada has an interesting tradition of randomly turning off the city's water for almost a full day – which means we got to bathe in a bucket tonight! We would like to bring this tradition to the U.S.
Entonces, para el momento, vamos a dormir.
