I really enjoy meeting the parents of the players and traveling to foreign countries. I think it's a positive and confidence building experience for the players.

A wonderful experience, with wonderful people, and no Drama in the U16 arena. Australia and it's people were the best.. and I am not much of a traveler, but I would do it again 10 out of 10 times.
