Entering my 2nd yr playing overseas and My stressful TIMES.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW, WHERE DO I START FROM! WELL LIKE I TOLD YOU IN MY LAST ENTRY I PREVIOUSLY PLAYED FOR THE LEICESTER RIDERS IN UK, ENGLAND. After a successful season there, I was looking forward to my next plans and what they can bring in the near future. Its like being a Free Agent and your looking at your options, this was the most stressful part of my summer, trying to find a place to continue my basketball career. Dont get me WRONG , I love every minute and the experiences i Had playing in England, but this was a hard Choice for my Career. Although the Summertime was a bit Stressful, one SIGNIFICANT event that SPARK happiness and relief was getting Engage with my Girlfriend Back in New York City. This Brought a lot of Happiness in my life, because it was a new step and experience and it keep my mind of the stress. Shortly after my Engagement, i Finally got an good offer to play in Finland, for Namika Lahti. I had no idea what Finland was about, but all i knew it was a COLD country to be in. I was very excited about heading to finland, but all this excitement turned into a "Nightmare". unfortunately Things did not work out in Finland, and i was Release from the Team after 2 weeks being there. This experience was something new to me, because i never got cut from a team before, so i did not know how to react to the situation. I felt the organization never gave me a chance to show my true talents. After being Release the Best thing was to go Home and find new work. After being Home for 2 weeks, i got a Job Opportunity to play in the Middle east for Antranik. This experience was the worst ever i encounter in my life. The whole time i was in Lebanon , it was a struggle from day 1. I never been in a situation where basketball was not FUN anymore. Like Finland, this Team never gave me a chance as well, and the organization judge me way to fast. Just imagine playing basketball or doing anything professionally and you have to worry about your job being taken away from at any given SECOND. ALL of these events just brought so much stress and at times i FELT ALL BY MYSELF, But because of having faith in God and a Supportive Family it made me STRONGER everday. At the end the team also end up cutting me as WELL. as result of stress, confusing, disbelief, and Communication it effected several parts of my life. Things got to the point where it effected my personal life with my Fiancée. as a result it WAS a major factor of our ENGAGEMENT being ended. this was just another STRESSFUL event within a 2month span, and at this point i was ready to give up on things. I prayed and cried everyday, asking myself why am i going through this situation, but i knew God had PLANS FOR ME. Suddenly i got another Chance to prove to those Indivuals who never gave me a chance to showcase my GREATEST ability. They say "Thrid" times the charm and i believe that. I was Offered another Job in Israel, to play for IRONI NAHARIYA. This was the Best thing that happen to me, this organization cae to me with open arms and for the first in a long time, I felt WANTED and appreciated. I been here for 1month now and im loving every moment. I am also playing very well. Although the team is starting a bit slow, we are gradually progressing everyday, and getting better. In Conclusion , i have Experience many Stressful events in a short period of time, but everything happens for a reason and i Learn being PATIENT is extremely beneficial. I just want to say Thank you to Those who Supported me , during these tough TIMES, i will always remember and appreciate that. Thanks you for taking your time, to reading and showing interest. I will have more to Come.
