So today Katie Mackey arrived to Umea, Sweden around 12.25.  Yep that is right for some of you who probably didnt know, but Mackey from Fort Lewis is going to be my teammate this year for the Umea Comets.  So it's going to be kind of neat experience to have another fellow Skyhawk with me out on the court.  I have never played with Mackey before, I have only coached her.  In fact, when I was the assistant basketball coach at Fort Lewis, I helped recruit her on the team!!  She is an extremely athletic player, has a great shot, and can run for days.  She is a taller guard, so she does have the ability to rebound and play solid defense.  She has also played on a very successful college team, runners-up in the National Championship.  And that is what I like the most about her, she knows how to win and will find ways to WIN!!  Just what we need.  I am looking forward to getting back and playing with my new teammates.
 

Mackey is not the only new teammate this year.  Also joing the team is Henna Koponen from Finland, Janett Perv from Estonia, and Ida Assa from Lulea.  I know there are a few others as well that are helping out with practice.  And possibly returning to the team is Madde Malmbom from Sundsvall.  Henna played 4 years in America at Coker College, a division II school out on the east coast.  So it will be nice to have 3 players on the team with collegiate experience!  Returning from last year is Caro Siegfelt, Julia Hamre and Johanna Lundstrom.  So I really think we are stronger than the past 3 seasons I have been here.  I am so excited to get back and start playing.  I know the team is traveling to Ostersund this weekend to play against a couple of teams in the Damligan in the KFUM tournament, so I wish them much luck!!  GO GETT'EM GIRLS!!



I had a great workout today!!  I ran to the park, did some good sprints, and ran back from the park.  Tonight it will be shooting with Mike hopefully!!  Still getting prepared to head over...which will be in 2 weeks from today.  The time is going by fast!

Keep having a great week everyone!! 

TAKE CARE!
