Tryouts 08/12/11 & a scrimmage!

We didn't think we'd hear from Kolby yesterday because it was a travel day for him. We had given up hearing from him at about 4 o'clock our time midnight his time. I got an e-mail saying Kolby "liked" my status of facebook so I hurried and got on, and got to talk to him for a few minutes. It was about 2 o'clock his time. They had just gotten back from the scrimmage and here is what he had to say about it!

we didn't play Cameroon. i don't know where we went but it was a four hour drive and it was some insanely nice training facility on a lake.. we played the Italian youth national team.. so basically a bunch of Taylor Richards except i don't think anyone was below 6'6" and they could all jump way high and were way good haha... i was kinda bummed cuz i got all warm thinking i was gonna start and i played the last three games of the match so i was real cold when i got in and didn't pass too great and it took a couple swings to get my shoulder back into it.. when im warm i feel good but in between my body is killin me.. i hit pretty well against them but just didn't pass too great.. its really frustrating me cuz i know im a way better passer.. the drive was pretty cool we saw a lot of the country and smaller towns.. a lot of towns are up on hills and they all surround a church. they are really cool. some of them are even built on little cliff things and some of the cliff was just carved into to make buildings.. i tried to get pics but it was too far for my ghetto camera.. after playing we ate there and then drove back.. the drive kinda sucked and the roads are ghetto anywhere except the freeway.. lots of pot holes.. since we went today and got back late we get to sleep in tomorrow and miss the first part of the day.  this whole bring it promotions is an agency and they officially represent all of us... so they negotiate and get a small percent of our deal.. anyways i think if i pick up my passing things will get better so that's what im gonna work on tomorrow.. but its two am so im gonna go to bed but ill have more free time tomorrow so ill write again as much as i can tomorrow. 
My mom woke up to another message from him today
Ya so since we played last night we get to rest this morning and just play in the afternoon. so me and this canadian kid are gonna get some eats and go to the grocery store. there are some cool kids here. lots of them have been all over and make me wanna travel more. i havent talked with tim about me specifically. i need to just focus on playing better and hopefully he'll come to me and tell me i have people looking at me. the only coaches there were the ones coaching the junior national team. they all coach in leagues though so it was a good thing to go play in front of them. the roads arent that bad and almost all the ones we went on were paved. ya tim went with us. i dont know the place where we were he never told us and i couldnt understand the signs. sorry! haha but it really was amazing. i got a picture of the sunset and there is a giant castle in the background its pretty cool. in the pic you cant really see the castle. i dont know if im gonna go to venice. tim said he will buy us tickets wherever we wanna go as long as were in pordenone on time. from what it sounds like venice is expensive and crowded so me and this kid were talking about going to verona. tim said there is a lot of cool stuff there and a huge castle.. so i dont know yet. well ill get back on after practice and dinner later! 
Things sound like they are going well for him. He just needs to step up his game a little bit!!! Hopefully we will hear from him within a few hours and I'll let you know how tryouts went today!
