Well, I suppose first I should explain what this blog is about to people that might just stumble upon it. This blog will is going to follow the U.S. Paralympic National Soccer Team as they go through training camps and play in tournaments around the world. The team is for athletes that have Cerebral Palsy, have suffered a stroke, or have had a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The team is a part of U.S. Soccer and in 2007 finished 10th at CP-ISRA World Championships in Brazil. The athletes on the team take it very seriously and train year round to be on the team. This is the highest level that any of us will be able to compete at and we take great pride in being on the team.
Secondly, as a member of the team it is difficult for me to easily update all of my family and friends while I am away at tournaments and things of that nature so I figured this is probably the easiest way to do so.
Starting February 15th the team has a week long training camp in Chula Vista CA. The team is currently training for the 2009 CP-ISRA World Championships.
Please check back every so often for updates and please pass this along to friends and leave comments for your support, they are greatly appreciated and provide the team with motivation knowing that people back home are rooting for us.
