Day 41 – Derry City FC

Foyle GymToday the routine was flipped. We were in the gym this morning to do our workout, foam rolling and stretch before we headed back to the training ground for training. I enjoy this a lot more, because the body isn’t fatigued when going into the gym and I prefer that to allow me to push myself. Plus it allows us to be done once we finish training.

Our training today had new drills which was good. Some passing drills to get the legs going and then a passing drill that really got the head going and made everyone have to think, which is important. It was important everyone was switched on for the next drill which was challenging and focused on possession through channels. These drills added a new dimension to training and was certainly different to the regular passing and possession we had been doing fairly often. Training finished with a 9v9 game to goal before we were done for the day.

I spent my afternoon researching visas and the various types to make sure that if opportunity does arise, I am ready to get that sorted. I also began the lookout for part time jobs that I could pick up a few hours with to make a bit of extra money and utilize my spare time. Hopefully I can speak to some of the local lads who may know of some opportunities there.

Cooked up a pretty decent pasta bake and chilled out on the couch this evening. Was treated to some nice colors from the sunset too. a54fed78-e31d-4aaa-ba0e-b74c39b0dde1
