We came to Amsterdam 7s to practice our game, get exposure to higher level, and get to know each others. Day 1 was perfect with 2 tough games (Belgium and Mo’s), which we lost, and one at our level, which we won. All the players got good playing time. Trude and I practiced our approach – coach 1 and coach A, each with a precise role to avoid stepping on each other’s feet during the day, and to maximize benefits of having two coaches.

On the evening, we had a classroom session with the team to reflect on two challenges we met during the day.

K, T and myself courageously went for an evening jog, to experience irl the flatness of the Netherland.
