Whats up guys! its been a minute since I’ve checked in to so I figured now would be a good time to drop by and show some love to The Original Winger faithful. The last few weeks have been quite a turn around for me. This time 2 weekends ago I was playing in the PDL playoffs with the Austin Aztex. The Aztex coaches (Adrian, Wolfgang, Bobby, and Ron) contacted me at the beginning of the summer and were familiar with my situation of not having a club and asked me if I would like to come down and spend the summer playing in Austin with them.
Honestly, at first, it was hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of going from playing in MLS to PDL, but I wasn’t playing anywhere. So I pretty much had to put my ego to the side and do what I needed to do to make sure I continued delevoping and I ended up having an absolute blast playing about 15 games with them in the regualr season, playoffs and Open Cup. All the guys on the team were awesome to be with, whether it was hangin out in the apartments, or on road trips, i couldnt have asked for a better group of guys to play with! I even survived living with 3 english lads who are by far the craziest/most awesome guys ive ever met!
Andy, Spen, and Scopey, there’s your shout out, so quit bugging me!! Haha anyways, it was overall a great experience getting 90 minutes week in and week out and put the ball in the back of the net 10 times, so I’m glad I got the chance to play with them and it was unfortunate we didnt end up winning the PDL championship.
After we lost saturday night in Orlando in the 2nd roud of the playoffs, it was a whirlwind next day for me. We had 3 flights on southwest (gotta love those Southwest layovers) just to get back to austin, and then I got home, packed up all my stuff and drove over 3 hours back to Coppell sunday night to get ready to play in a Reserve game with FC Dallas Monday morning.
