Congratulations to Germany – Why the Best Team Won

The World Cup is over. Germany have won their 4th World Cup title, beating Argentina via a 115th-minute goal from substitute Mario Goetze, 1-0.

Several friends and colleagues who have been to Rio De Janeiro recommended this activity to me, so I figured I had to give it a try. There are a few draw-backs (it's fairly expensive, [...]

Soccer Fitness – Brazil Trip Day 4

Today I hung out at Ipanema beach with my coaching friends from Toronto. It was a quiet day (mostly because there were no World Cup games on). Also got into another pick-up game on the beach, this time with some much more reasonable Australians..it was a lot of fun. I have decided to go hang-gliding [...]
