Lax in Oslo

Last night I had my first meet up with the local lax bros and to paraphrase the immortal words of Brian Cox from The Ringer, I looked like freakin' Carl Lewis out there. To be fair, the most experienced players at the "tryouts", including the members of last year's squad, have been playing for less than a year. They let me skip the tryout part of the session, which was nice, and it's now looking like I will be the coach as well as a player.

Even though the competition isn't exactly strong, I am very much looking forward to the experience. We have a squad of solid athletes and if I can pass along at least a few of the lessons acquired via the "Mike Murphy Insano Training Regime", then we could be possibly the best team in Norway. I am very excited for the opportunity to build something here, this could be my Norwegian legacy!

Additionally, they had a bunch of girls out who may end up being the first girls lax team in Norway, which would be awesome on so many levels. As a fall back, they said if they couldn't get a team together they would be our cheerleaders, so uh...yeah, win win.
