Monday July 6, 2020
The week started off with some sad news . . .
Former Europe Warriors Right
Tackle and Coach Luis Rodarte
was entering a hospital in
Mexico City
Luis played for our first Senior Warriors team back in 2017 in his native Mexico City and then helped coach our Offensive Line with our U19 team later that same year in Texcoco, Mexico just outside of the nation's capital. On both occasions he proved himself at all times to be just a GREAT person hence whenever any body asks me about him, my standard, heartfelt response has always been "I love Luis Rodarte!"
It is with much sorrow that I tell you the that doctors recently discovered a tumor in Luis' head. He was operated on twice at the start of the week and his doctors are optimistic on his recovery over the next few months.
As you can imagine, his family could use any financial aid that readers can give them. The photo above gives the information about the special account in his name that has been set up at the BBVA bank.
Please reach out if you can, GRACIAS!

Reeled in one more time
Good friend Bart Iaccarino of Barcelona's Pioners L'Hospitalet has opted to hire me to be his team's Video Analyst for the 2021 season.
I know that I said that my EuroBall coaching days were over but this coaching job is a bit different.
Thank's to the revolutionary HUDL platform, the Pioners will just upload game and practice footage to HUDL and then I will start my work from the comfort of my home office in Camarillo.
I think that this will be a good way to stay active in the game, plus I may need to make a visit to Barcelona for a week or two to check things out.
The Pioners also signed
Honza Rauš
Honza is another of the great young men that I have met through the Europe Warriors program.
Honza the Player in Chihuahua
Honza the U18 Coach in Vienna
Honza the whimsical Women's OC
in Mexico City
All in all,
It's GREAT to be a Pioner!

The end of Mike's
Fourth of July March
As some of you may recall, our son Micheal is an American Civil War re-enactor.
On Saturday, the Fourth of July, he decided to don his Union uniform and walk the last ten miles to our house to get a feel for what it was like to march back 160 years ago in heavy wool clothing and non-Nike shoes.

If I recall correctly, that Fiat building with the test track became a venue for the Turin Olympics (speed skating) as well as the media center.
