The Banquet

Take a look at this table. After an exhausting day, this was an oasis to sore eyes. The team had the brilliant idea of having a dinner to get together and talk about. This is not  the team dinner, celebrating the end of the season. The team dinner will be May 20th, at Latina Xintiandi.

This dinner was an idea to have a team bonding experience and since I name our plays according to typical dishes from our player’s origins (Frikadeller, Bacalhau, Paella and Schnitzel) we decided that each one of us had to do a traditional dish. What a brilliant idea! The Von Wahl family was kind enough to open their house to us and we had a great time talking about the season and specially our great championship early in the day. It was funny to relive some key moments from our final match, specially. The energy in this group of athletes is incredible.

I was actually really impressed that the girls scheduled the dinner the same day of SISAC. Imagine if we had lost the tournament? The mood would be terrible. I have to confess that even if we lost, it would not stop me from eating. The food was amazing! I ate so much that I even got depressed afterwards. As a guy that has no clue on how to cook,  tried to get as much food back with me as possible so for days now I will be eating Paella, Swedish meatballs codfish and etc. I am definitely a lucky coach to have such a wonderful team with incredible culinary skills. 🙂
