Last Friday, post-development session, we didn't have to work because we had a friendly soccer game against Umzingisi - another sport for development non-profit in the area. We ended up losing 2-4 in the last minutes because everyone was dead. I got an assist-ish (went up against a goalie on a corner and he dropped it on Jim's foot). It was a lot of fun seeing people play and hanging out in a new way.
The best part of this story though was that the whole game was filmed. Dani has moved to Port Elizabeth! Dani is from Miami Beach and is a film-maker. She was going to do a documentary on GRS in general, but after a bad experience in Jo-burg last spring she wasn't feeling so good about it. Then she came to PE and met all of our awesome female coaches and changed the whole idea. A lot of our coaches play for the City Lads (my soccer club) so Dani is now making a film on the City Lads and GRS and sport and females etc. etc. She has some big funders AND ESPN has already shown interest in buying rights to it upon completion. So…..I am going to be in a documentary. Sick. Dani is very cool though too. We had dinner with her the other night and had a good time and she drives me home from training now so the boys don't have to come back to New Brighton to fetch me 3 times a week.
