A Hard Day – Determined to Do Better

On Day 6, we started the morning off with a lovely swim in possibly the coldest hotel pool in the world to wake us up.

After that we had a great breakfast with fresh omelets and pancakes.

Later that day, we went to practice to find the Chilean team watching us enter the sports complex from their hotel porches. Part way through our practice, the Mexican team showed up to their practice but were a bit early and started to watch us play. Distractions set in and when they started watching us, we became nervous.

We got back to the hotel and later had a players only meeting to sorts out our team focus.

We had a team movie night in the managers room (Alvin’s).

Basically a early evening, with the team determined on having a better tomorrow.
