The journey continues

In Africa (January 2012)  plans were made about continuing this journey. Ronald made big steps forward, technically, in Africa. And now we're busy trying to make the new insights and excersises his own. Weekly Ferenc and I discuss the films shot during Ronalds training.
As already twittered by me: It's sometimes SCARY to see how Ronald improved and so...how far his javelins fly. Good throwing sessions are still followed by bad. Not so suprisingly since Ronald wants more. He clearly needs several hundreds, maybe thousands of throws before they all fly as wanted. We've got enough to do. It's easy to predict that his first few competitions will be thrilling. But more important we want his last competition to be thrilling... the Paralympic Games.

The Dutch Paralympic Team will train in Valencia (spain) this april. We still think we need more than sun and groupfocus. It can't be a suprise that we will continue our journey with Ferenc. So Ferenc suggested two weeks of training in the Olympic trainingcenter in Tata (Hungaria). Perfect!

Tata a small village near Tatabanya.
Tatabanya.... that does ring a bell when born in Rotterdam. The birthplace of one of the famous strikers for Feyenoord (soccer) in the early nineties (Jozsef Kiprich). Better known as: The magician of Tatabanya, which sounds magical in dutch: de Tovenaar van Tatabanya.
It has something exotic, something special, something unattainable, something magical.We will see if Tata will be a magical place for us.
And although Ferenc claims not to be special.... we know better.

Once we're there you can expect a daily updated.
