Well this is what Miami does to you, it keeps you so wrapped up and busy there's just no time for blogging. Nonetheless I have found the time to blog, I've been in Miami now for something like 11 days or so, and it's been awesome. I've done a lot from just spending time w/ the family to eating dinner at the beach with my love, to being at a very exciting game of Miami Fc that we tied 1-1 in the 94th minute! But more on those things later, let's take it all the way back to day 1.
I get here the surprise is awesome everyone is happy, were all enjoying having a magnificent time, eating from my dad's barbeeque and everything goes amazing.
Next day we decide to have a family evening, and head out to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. My dad and I wound up playing blackjack real quick before dinner i made $30 my dad made $15 and we went to dinner, at Tequila Ranch. Which has a fun enviorment filled with young people just looking to have a good time. Anyways dinner was, my girlfriend, my family, my brothers girlfriend, and I. It was a good dinner that we all enjoyed, and then something quite embarrasing happened to my mom which was kind of my fault =x but I won't mention that I love you mami if your reading this! :) Well anyways after dinner everyone kind of spread out and I went to play poker while playing for about 5 minutes all of the sudden comes Jose Canseco (the steroider from baseball if you don't know who he is) and sits and starts to play. Anyways to make a long story short he got really lucky on me in a $280ish pot and I got up and called it a night....
The next eventful day was probably Tuesday my first day of training with Miami Fc. I always thought these people were like 23 24 years old when really there all 28 30 and even 35 years old! Their old, but for being as old as they are they can still definintly play soccer. Anyways training was light, I mean it's just normal training I guess people messing around and doing some small sided games a little bit of running etc etc. So everyday my schedule has looked something like gym sometime early like before 2:00 then Miami Fc training at 5:00 till about 7 7:30.
After training all week, we had a game Saturday at 8pm versus Montreal who were currently 2 ponts behind us so this game was going to be very very important. Anyways I was told to be here at 3pm although the game was at 8pm and I wasn't even going to play, I didn't ask questions though and arrived at the field at 2:45 got changed and headed out to the field with Zack, only to find about 130 kids waiting there. Well it turned out to be that Miami Fc was having an inaugural one day camp, where you get to meet the pros, play with them, have a locker room tour, get some prizes, and get a free ticket to the game versus Montreal! It was an awesome and really fun camp. Yeah sure it was like 95 degrees and I was playing soccer with 12 and 13 yr olds but I had a great time, and the kids were all really enthusiastic, and Koko who was the somewhat leader of the camp did really good with all the kids and making sure everyone had a good time. I applaud Miami Fc on their idea of doing this, and give thanks to the 6-7 players that came out to help with the kids. By 6pm all the kids were gone to a pizza party and I was ready to run 10 sprints of 300 meters before the game for all the players that weren't going to play in the game. After that I went to the locker room showered, and got changed ready to watch the game with my parents in the fan section. Now on my way to the fan section Fernando Claviho, and Koko asked where I was going and I said my parents are here so I'm going to sit with them Koko then handed me a sharpie and said I would need it....I didn't think anything of it, but thanks for the sharpie Koko! For when I got to the fan section there was about 40 kids asking for my autograph, it felt pretty cool you know to be recognized and all....I had no problem signing as many shirts as I possibly could I mean it was super fun to do, and had a great time in doing so. On one kids particular shirt we had talked earlier throughout the day and I had a great conversation with him, I can't remember his name but I know he knows who he is so if you ever come across this blog man, may God Bless, and can't wait to play you when you make it professional as well!
Now onto the game versus Montreal we continuously stuggled throughout the game and we had some exciting moments but nothing close....then late in the second half Montreal scored and we were kind of down in spirits, but we never gave up, and thanks to two substitutions we got an amazing goal in the 94th minute to tie!!!! It was a really good ending to the day near perfect, but we'll take the tie! The goal came from a big left foot cross from Jack and it was put right into the space in front of Marcina where he hit it passed the keeper, and tied up the game! It was an extremely exciting game.
The next day we had off so I decided I would take my girlfriend out to dinner on South Beach, we didn't know where we were going to eat so we just walked down Ocean drive till we found a restaurant that was appealing. Sure enough we found an Italian one where unfortunately I can't remember the name, but I will tell you that the food was, the service was great, and I had thee BEST cheesecake I have ever had in my life! It was vanilla cheesecake showered in strawberry sauce, with real strawberry cut up along side it. It was amazing. :)
The day after that we wounded up waking up and heading out to South Beach again this time we went to enjoy the sun and beach. Wow I missed the beach a lot, I just love everything about the beach, anyways after we both got a nice tan we went shopping Collins street. Bought some nice clothes for me along with a nice pair of Steve Madden shoes for my girlfriend. After that tired and all we headed back home and rested.
Yesterday was Tuesday and I was back to training, but yesterday was an extremely tiring day. My day went as followed.
Woke up at 10am had a light breakfast.
Picked up Rafa Centofanti and had subway at 2pm
Gym from 2:30pm - 3:45pm worked out some arms legs and abs.
From there headed to Miami Fc practice from 5pm to 7pm.
I left right away and went too Kendall Academy U18 practice which was from 7:30-9:30.
Then alas I got home and rested.....
