Hey so this is my very first blog of my life! No better time to start blogging then right before this amazing opportunity i have to travel to Bhutan. For most of you if you are reading this then you about this trip already. I consider myself very privileged and blessed to be able to team up with 9 of my fellow team members (6 of my players, 1 of my fellow coaches, 1administrator and Big J Harrison!) The trip will be a total of 18 days for Josh and myself, while being 17 days for Taylor (player), Noel (player), Nolan (Administration), Boomer (coach), Billy (player), Cam (player), and then 15 days for Pynch (player, at least he thinks so :) and kirk (player).

I could not think of a better group of guys to be traveling with on this grand adventure. With a mix of old friends and new friends i will be personally looking forward to the strengthening of each and every relationship while on this trip. I am excited for all of the guys on the trip that will be leaving the states for the first time in their lives, especially Taylor and Pynch (i can still remember my first time traveling and also my first time in a country that was so different from everything i have ever known). I am excited to see the transformations that this trip will play in each life and my own as well.

The preparation of the trip has been a good one for me personally. When you go on a trip like this you always want to make sure that you are prepared mentally and physically. When you are bringing something so precious to another country, in this case the game of basketball and more, it is so important to me that i strip down all the ways that i can get something out of this and focus rather on how i can help others and in turn be changed myself.

As far as we know (tentative as always with trips like this) our team will be teaching seven different basketball camps in seven different locations, one of which will be in the capitol city of Thimpu. Our team will teach the country on the basics of shooting, dribbling, passing and so much more. Along with teaching the game we will be bringing equipment that is essential to the playing of the game (about 500lbs of equipment).

These are just a couple quick point about my trip that i wanted to talk about and as i am on my trip i will dive deeper into whatever is on my mind when i am writing. Before i finish this post i just really wanted to thank all of my supporters for giving so generously to my trip and for your continued support with your thoughts as i am gone for 18 days. I am blessed for even being able to have this opportunity and am gracious to everyone responsible for being a part of it.
