No.6
Yeah baby, that's me in the Binnenland game jersey, I even got my number 6 :)
I'm so tired today, I don't know why but my legs are too tired. Oh and Sunday we're leaving the gym at 9.15, gonna practice and then play a practice game...somewhere in Holland. It's gonna be a long Sunday, that's fo sho'. I really like the girls in my team and Coach Petra is doing a really good job with the team. The only problem I have now is to get my insurance arranged, then I can play without being worried...so next practice, ankle braces on again!

Game time
Saturday I played my first game in the Binnenland blue and red game jersey. We played against Boom, a very good Belgian team in their top division. Everybody said we were gonna get our ass kicked, but we only lost by 6pts. Ok, they had their 3 best players in the National team, but still, we didn't get our ass kicked....we just lost by a few points.
My physio said only 10-15 minutes, more than that I shouldn't try to play the fist game after recovering from my injury. The result was 3/5 2pts, 1/3 3pts, 3reb, 2 to, 1ass and 1 foul. It was ok for being my first game and straight from the injury, only had 1 fully completed practice before this game.
Then after the game, me, Sevda and Michele went to almere to see the Dutch men's national team play against Montenegro and the orange dressed guys lost...It was Montenegros no.5 who beat them, 3 3pts the last 5 minutes. It was just bye bye Holland. Then the 3 of us whent back to Rotterdam, picked up Sus and went to the club, the Vie. The 4 of us had heels on, so our average height was 185 I would say. Not just because we where the talles ladies at the club, but we also looked damn good...LOL.
Sus, Sevda, me, Jennifer and Michele
Today was just a chill day, cleaning my room, doin the laundry, watching some episodes of Veronica Mars and now I'm tired and think it would be a good idea to go to sleep :D Nite nite!

Feels good
Today was my first practice when I could do everything. I played 3 on 3, 5 on 5 and all defense drills. A lil scrared in the beginning that I would hurt my leg again but I didn't. My physio told me yesterday that I can't go1 on 1 and the most explosive exercises, but we didn't do that too much today so i was good. Feels so freaking good to be able to play, although I must say that I don't go 100%, I would say about 85-90% since in the back of my head I'm scared to get injured again. But after Friday at the physio, I think I will be able to even play the game on Saturday...we will see.
My dear friend Christa, the team captain, tried to learn me some bad words in Dutch today after practice. My first bad word is F*** in Dutch...I hear that I need to hang out more with them so they can teach me all the dirty words. LOL
Oh, and last week we got new bags, well, everyone but me...my number 6 is in America. One of the americans brought it home so they had to order a new one for me...typical my luck!
Well, I'm kind beat now, so just one episode of Veronica Mars then I'm out!

Insurance
I just found out that I don't have any insurance playing ball here in Holland. In Sweden I have 6 different insurances, for my home, for my work in Sweden, for my being stationed in Holland, for business trips, private trips and one for accidens like if I would get sick or die. And on top of this I have a company insurance here in Holland if I would get sick when I'm working. That many insurances in Sweden but none will cover me as an athlete playing basketball. For that it takes a special athlets insurance which should be covered by the team. So good I thought, the team here in Holland can insure me. But NO! Since I'm not registered in Holland, their athleth insurance doesn't cover me. That's fucking wack. And I don't wanna hoop uninsured. Imagine if I would get injured bad, that I need a surgery or anything, without any insurance. I don't wanna end up like the lil' dude below here...
What should I do? I can't manage being in Holland for 6 more months and no basketball. I will go crazy...

Beep test
Feels good to have completed the first bball practice of the year. And to our surprise we got to run the BEEP TEST...of the SHUTTLE RUN TEST as the coach said. Gaaaaah, I hate that test...I feel sick just thinking of the test. Not sure what level I got to cause the voice was speaking dutch, there was music in between the beeps and yeah... Just a weird beep test if I may say so. I thought I had the worse condition of us all, but I was kinda ok...LOL

New faces in Binnenland

| Renes Binnenland started to shape up for the upcoming season. The last season could hardly be called successful for the team as they finished the regular season at 6-18 record at the 8th spot in the ladder. They were later swept by the Yellow Bike in the opening round of playoffs. So now the team is trying to bolster the quad to improve on the result. Binnenland added some new players to the roster in recent weeks. Firstly the team returned Mirelle Lagendijk (180-G-86). |  | |

Letter of Clearance
First page, damn that's me...
But since it's all in Dutch I didn't bother to enlarge the picture. I just wanted to show you that I'm back on court. The contract will be signed in a couple of weeks, yesterday I just signed the Letter of Clearance that will get me transfered from the Swedish basketball federation to the Dutch basketball federation. I hope they all approve it! Don't you love the picture that they took in the meeting room...a real close up...Thank you for that one! Great!
Well folks, this is all for me today. I better get some sleep cause the PT is killing me and bball practice tomorrow again. My body is already tired...and it's just started...dang.

So, I better get in shape now, shit gotta hurry. I ran Saturday, Monday and today. Tomorrow I'm going out for a 40min run too AND have an appointment with a PT at the fitness center...not that I need one, but they offered my a 1 time for free so why not? Friday I don't have time to run, cause then I'll fly back to SWEEEEEDEN. Saturday I gotta fix my hair. Then after that I gotta try to be healthy, maybe Caroline will go for a run with me.
Guess what I'm bringing in my suitcase?
