Ky Howard’s Blog from Belgium

Ky Howard’s Blog from Belgium

 
Read Ky Howard's blog about his experience so far in Belgium.  Howard is a sophomore from Philadelphia who is majoring in business management.
 
Here is the fourth blog of the trip:
 
Hey everyone! I hope all is well back home! The tour for us so far has been great.
 
Amsterdam was amazing and Belgium is beautiful. It has an old feeling to it which makes the experience even better. Leaving one hotel in one country and traveling to another wasn't that bad but it does impact your body, especially because we had a game.
 
So far my body is feeling good. I'm taking the proper precautions to maintain my body. The gym wasn't a big gym that held a lot of fans, but it was loud. It kind of reminded me of an AAU setting type game. I was comfortable from the time walking into the gym.
 
The fans weren't very loud, but from start to finish they supported their team 100%. I definitely appreciate the fans out here whether they root for us or against us. They show great sportsmanship always.
 
We won Thursday's game against Oudenaarde, which was a great win for us. Coach Engles was pleased at the way we competed.  We started off slow, but as the game progressed, we began to pull away. With our second straight win spirits are high within the team!
 
I purchased a few souvenirs for my family and close friends, but can't say what they are in case they are reading this. I will say to anyone that travels to Europe, I recommend you do a bike tour of the city! The cities are beautiful and it's always a way to have fun! Take full advantage of the opportunity.
 
I never thought I would see the day where I would be able to say I have been to these places. It's a blessing. It's even better that the team is enjoying themselves and playing well.
 
Well, this is Ky reporting from Belgium. Until next time, take care!
