Sunday morning we had our usual training session from 7 - 9 am at Yahud. We spilt the field with the open women and Jessica took the Alexa & Gabby for 45 mins of goalkeeper training. I took the rest of the team to work on making runs in the final third (+ penalty box) and individual defending. The keepers joined us for the second half for the session for a very spirited game of 2 vs 1 + keepers in the box. I am continually pleased at how hard my players train and how focused they are at each session.
In the afternoon we traveld to Old Jerusalem and visited "The Kotel" which is the Western Wall.
Here are 2 pics of our visit to the wall. One is the team prayer "one heart, one team".
After the wall we visited a site called Hezikiahs Tunnel which is a water tunnel underneath Old Jerusalem. It was 45 min in pitch darkness (with tiny flashlights) in water that varied from ankle to knee depth. It was the route that King David lead his army into capture Jerusalem.
Tomorrow we visit New Jerusalem which will include Yad Vashem, Holocaust Memorial. I'm sure it will be a moving experience for us all.
BTW, which over 400 of our delegation here at Kfar Maccabiah now as well as other countries starting to arrive it sometimes takes awhile before I get access to a computer. Thats why it may seem like the posts are a day late.
