Jason's Summer of 2007!
By wearing a J.LEAGUE team jersey, Jason is balancing his soccer dreams perhaps...
Hi guys. It��s been a will since my last post. Everything is going fine.
Just survived the Seiritsu summer holiday��s soccer program. We were off school for about 2 months and in those 2 months I became the fittest I have ever been in my life!
We played a lot of games and trained twice a day. It was a very hard schedule but it��s all the hard work that is going towards my dream of becoming a pro soccer player. I thought that the coaches pushed us hard during normal season when we have school, but the summer holidays were at another level.
The most memorable thing that we did was training twice a day in 35+ degree heat. Even some days it reached the ridiculous temperature of 40 degrees! I know that in Australia if it was anywhere near that kind of weather we definitely wouldn��t be training or even go out of our house. But this is Japan, where when they make a commitment to something they stick by it. That��s why Japan has the second largest economy in the world, after the US.
That��s all from me this month; I will keep you posted about life in Seiritsu High.
