I did get to sleep in the middle of the day, but today has been quite filled nevertheless, especially as it started at 2am...
at 3 am, we met up and went to one of the printing places to check out the whole process of how the paper gets made and distributed. unfortunately I wasn't able to take any pictures because the tour was kinda fast-paced, but it gave me a whole new understanding of how it works. it's one of those places where you can just stand the whole day and look at how things work and happen. it's amazingly fast and impressive, they can print about 60000 papers per hour, so it only took them about 2 hours to print the whole edition there. and then of course it's all the packing and distribution, which we got to see too...
I went with one of the trucks up to stockholm (the printer is in södertälje, about 40 mins south, depends on who's driving...), into a garage where they packed it into the delivery cars, and then I went with one of them in a small tour around stockholm. of course the driving around wasn't all too exciting or special, but it definitely helped in getting an understanding in how the whole process works. good learning, I must say.
and then part two of the day - football! we went to see the training today, and even got to hold a small part of the second training session. currently they're split up into two teams who practice right after each other, but we'll probably put them all in a big group and have them all for two hours. the kids are good, I was positively surprised, even though there's a lot to work on. split vision, one-touch, the basic things that make your team better. the board or something has to discuss if it's okay for us to take over, but it should be okay. wednesdays and sundays we'll have training, so it should be interesting. now we just have to come up with all the excercises...
I'm excited, and I think this team can become really good. we're going to look into different types of activities and things that can help them become a more tightly knit group as well. I can promise you that there will be lots more of this in the future :)
