Old Town photos








































Photos : 1/2 - We went to Skansen which is an outdoor museum of all of Sweden. We only had about 30 minutes, but photo 1 is an example of the cottages they gave to workers in the early years in Sweden... there are a bunch people still live in here around the hotel. This one was about 100 square feet. No. 2 is a photo of some bread they were selling at a stand in Skansen. They also made pottery and other items.
3/ Funny advertising. We felt bad for this kid. And then we took pictures.
4/ Statue outside the church next to the Royal Palace. Not sure exactly who this was, but my guess is one of the kings.
5/ Beautiful scenery... I love the history
6/ Fascinated with the manhole covers in Europe...
7/ Our tour guide around the palace
8/ Me at the Royal Palace
9/ Overlooking the Baltic Sea.

He said, "Boys, you are on a special team.... because of the 1.5 million boys playing high school football today.... you have this teammate who is one of 120 in the country." She wrote him a letter about the USA football team and what it means to her that we are playing REAL football. He even he had her senior picture from 1990 .... incredible. I love that we are representing the future of women's tackle football.... girls who love this game.... and girls who someday can aspire to get to this USA women's football team because they want to be the best in the world and play the best in the world...... I love that I met Jen Blum who's been playing since 1999. My roommates are from DC and NY and the O-LINE is

My giants

This week I've devoted some time to trying to say thank you to all the people in the high school football program who helped me, invested in me, and taught me something about what it means to being a good coach. I found myself literally crying last night while I wrote a few notes, and I think I'd probably start the dang waterworks again if I looked at them. I thought about the concept of "standing on the shoulders of giants" this summer when I was selected to TEAM USA. It certainly was not by all my own effort - so many phenomenal people have invested in me their time, talents, advice, wisdom, training, technique, and most of all confidence. It prompted me to check out where the saying came from: Wikipedia tells me this (and love the photo): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_on_the_shoulders_of_giants I like the reference from the X-files : "If I have seen further than other men it's because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." I truly feel that
