I can't believe it! I just had my first two practices with Portland San Antonio! All the stars in this team! Richardson, Balic, Lozano, Joergensen, Hvidt and so on! Incredible! World Handball player of the year Ivano Balic is a very quiet guy. Richardson cracks a lot of jokes, it's a great atmosphere in the team! Very disciplined and professional, but with a lot of fun! You can tell these guys love the game! And they're all huge, over 190cm and 90kg the lot of them! I feel so tiny!
All of this was made possible by an invitation to Pamplona by my dear friend Txema Urdiain. txema is one of the assistant specialist coaches of Portland and also works with the Spanish national team. I can't thank Txema enough for my career highlight! I'll be eternally indebted to him!
More and pics later!
