BELGRADE, Serbia - So far, so good. We are well into our schedule and approaching the playoff season. We have been fortunate enough to find victory each week as we are currently 9-0 and undefeated in both out domestic and international leagues. The guys have been working hard all year and it is showing as we progress through our games: we are improving each week.
The coaches have kept us in favorable positions by
getting ready for a fresh approach to each game while keeping things simple and
allowing us to maximize our collective talents. Since my arrival, I have been
impressed with my teammate's knowledge of the game and ability to adapt in game
situations.
Their effort and the coaches savvy have allowed me to blossom
as an athlete as I am currently leading the league in passing and rushing. I am
surrounded by greatness!
So far we have had games against teams all over the country,
Slovenia, and Croatia, as well as road games against an Austrian team. This
week we travel to Budapest, Hungary to rematch a team we beat earlier in the
season 53-35. The team is much improved and will provide another good test for
us. Here is the game preview provided by the league:
Traveling with the team is always a great experience. We
are able to enjoy our journeys combining a light-hearted approach to the trip
while maintaining a "business trip" mentality and purpose. We travel
well and the teams needs are always met when are on the road. For me, it offers
a chance for me to gain prospective as a traveler and player: my passport is
definitely getting a workout too.
Living abroad has been an experience of a lifetime. Being
able to further my career as a player and coach has truly been a blessing. Lately,
I have learned a lot about myself as a person, player, and student of this
game. Serbia has offered a unique opportunity to redefine life as an American.
During my down time, I have been able to take trips to 8
different countries where I have learned a lot about what life is like outside
of the States. Which, in turn, has proved to be one of the things I have
enjoyed the most during my time out here.
We have reached our goals thus far this season, but there
is still much work to do. Anything less than a championship is unacceptable for
us. I am looking forward to another great performance from my team as we move
forward in our quest for a ring!
Ajmo Vukovi !
