The U-18 American expedition, which started today (March 17th to March 18th), safely arrived in Dallas, USA. The total travel time, including transit, was 19 hours, but the players immediately participated in the pre-tournament practice upon arrival.
Despite feeling heavy due to jet lag and a long flight, I have prepared myself for the tournament starting tomorrow. I want to experience American food, climate, and the size of soccer facilities (FC Dallas has 17 soccer courts in its facility) while aiming for personal growth along with the tournament. Tomorrow is the first match against PUMAS (Mexico). It will be an important game towards advancing to the qualifying league.
