This is a day-by-day blog from Ashlee Savona, NSU freshman soccer player, who is currently participating in the Gold Cup as part of the Guyana National Soccer Team
I'm sorry I haven't been able to post as frequently as I've liked to, but the internet here is limited and I need to use that time to do my school work online.
The past few days have been hectic but we have found some time to relax. We lost to a boys U17 team 12-7 in florida the day before we left but it was a much needed game to pick up the intensity and speed of our game.
We arrived in Cancun on the 26th and our coaches gave us the day off to go to the beach right outside of our hotel. We have had a practice everyday in the morning following with an ice bath back at the hotel and a pool recovery session as well. We have also played a game of beach soccer as well.
It is really hot down here but it is expected to start raining throughout the upcoming week. We went to walk around the stadium this morning and it is a really well kept field, almost as good as ours, but the stadium itself isn't that big.
We are going to watch the U.S. play Haiti tonight (Thursday) and we are all really excited to get a feel of the environment. Our first game is tomorrow (Friday) at 7. I want to wish the girls (NSU) good luck and I know they can bring home two wins this weekend and make the tournament.
I will update you soon.
