Welcome back! This time, I was asked to work as an athletic trainer for USA Deaf men's soccer team to Venezuela for Deaf Pan Am soccer tournament. I am excited for this opportunity and gain more experience as an athletic trainer at an international level. I am looking forward to reunite with the USA men's deaf soccer team again. Some of you don't know that I worked with them at 2009 Summer Deaflympics games. (here's the link if you want to read or re-read it, I am surprised it is still there-- http://deaflympicsatc.blogspot.com/) I had a blast, and am looking forward to work with them again.
My work company, PRORehab pc. in St. Louis asked me to do another blog and I will be happy to do it again. I surely hope to have internet access down there. If we don't have it then I will write it down and post it when I get back. Either way, I will try to post it daily or every other day.
I will depart St. Louis on Wednesday, November 16th and return back on November 28th. I will meet with the team down in Miami on November 16th and travel together down to Venezuela. I will share with you of my experiences (travelling, entertainment, athletic training, and of course soccer tournament).
Also, I plan to take pictures and post it on this blog or flicker if I can remember how to figure it out. I am no tech geek. If anyone could teach me via e-mail, then e-mail me at wcweirjr@gmail.com for tips. Thanks!
