The Globetrottin' ADs Globetrottin' ADs

When you go overseas things are not always like they were back home and sometimes those differences are both surprising and hard to overcome.

In this episode we welcome Christof Wegiel (Danube Int. School) and Dave Horner (his 14th episode) to talk about 'athletic culture shock'. The guys share things that stood out to them when they first went overseas, how they overcame them and also some funny examples.

The top realizations were; the local competition, athletic ability of athletes, frequent moving of families and the amount of practices. The basic tip to people coming overseas for the first time is to lower your expectations but be ready to make a lasting impact.
