Hello there? How are you? Everything good?
-Because I'm great, and you're great. -And I'm great.
-This is a very good "burginning". -Thanks!
-And that was a terrible pun. -Yes I know.
-Should we pick a patch and do a challenge today? -I think so.
-Yeeees! -Let's go.
No!
I knew it! I knew this would happen one day!
You need to read it... I've seen it. You need to read it out loud, they can't see the patch.
We're going to play American football.
Let's go!
Oh no, bad start. But it's okay... Oh no, bad start times two.
I think that this is a sport that's very dangerous for me.
-Why? -Because I'm in it to much.
And I forget that I don't have the most fit body.
I can easily go into a close-up dual and probably break a collarbone or something.
I think that you're pretty well shaped for this. You're standing steady on the ground.
I don't know if I should take that as a compliment. -You should definitely do that.
The nerdy life of Sp4zie
Yes, and the stable life of Athene
I feel that this is going to be great. -It's green!
Oh...
No we're going to meet someone... Some kind of pro that knows this.
Thank god. Because we can't do this on our own.
No I think that it's pretty important. Otherwise I'll leave this place with a few broken bones.
-Hi! -Hello!
Oh, open arms. I go for the hug.
I love these.
-Welcome to our humble abode, Östermalms IP. -Thanks!
And this is where we usally play American Football.
-Nice, and that's what we want to do today. -Yes.
One question. Do I need to be aggressive?
-No. -Okay.
You need to be tough, you need to be brave. You don't need to be mean though.
Aggressive like giving it all.
Okay, I like it.
We can't start the workout before you're wark because then you can get hurt, and that's not good.
-You need to be complete. -I don't want to get hurt.
Right? So yu need to warm up. It will be some ladder and it will be some exercise.
Go!
Yes, good!
Keep going!
Nice! All right...
Go, go, go!
Go!
Almost good... You're getting forward.
"Almost good", I like it. That's a good rating from the coach.
Now we're finally going to throw the ball. Now we're going to learn some passing Athena.
I like it. I like the ball. The ball is my thing.
-Passes are important. -Yes.
This is a team sport after all.
The bigger your hands are the further back on the ball you grab.
-Okay, like that. -Even further back.
So only those two on the seam.
-There somewhere. -Yes.
And then you want some space between them.
This looks so easy.
No!
Oh, that's a good throw.
No, I still flip it.
No...
I think your throws are really good.
-I think our throws are really bad. -Yes.
It's so much to think about. The grip, the angle, the turn. Who invited these triangle shaped balls?
Now.. Now I'm starting to feel it.
Starting to feel the American side of me, Athena
Good!
Now you're going to try the life as...
...a deffender.
And you're going to learn some basics.
But to not make it scary at first you're going to do it with...
...this pillow instead of a real person.
Let's do it!
It's you and me man, it's you and me!
Yes! That's good.
I though that I would be better at tackeling.
But I wasn't.
I don't think that I've been that irritated today that I can live up to thos aggressions.
No, you feel pretty zen.
-Right? I feel pretty zen today. -You're like "Yes, it's pretty nice to throw a ball".
-This is the start of a new friendship. -Yes.
I feel bad for my butt that isn't used to playing American Football.
-Ehm no, no, no... -I didn't fall.
You need to use your strenght so I fall.
It feels like you're just marking and I I'm falling on purpose...
I'm scared to death.
Good!
We did it.
But we're friends Athena.
I was thinking that we summarize with getting in all parts... Just to know that you've understood it all.
So you will start with the stance.
Then you do the block on the pillow.
Then you'll run and catch a ball that someone will throw at you.
And then you finish with doing the hug-thing with another pillow.
-All right! -Feels good?
-It feels good! -Let's go!
Come on Athena!
One, two, three...
Come on!
When you're ready you go through the whole beat at once.
Okay.
So I'm just going to get up and tackle it?
I think that you've been very nice to us today.
I need to say it, I was afraid of breaking one of my weak gaming-bones when I got here...
but you've been really nice. I appriciate that.
Definitely. I thought that you would be 1000 times tougher.
Like...
But how do you think we did?
It feels like you've got the right attitude and wants to fight.
I like that in the end you really wanted to get the ball in, and that's how you should think in American Football.
You should never give up, and you've got your whole team on your shoulders.
-I tried coach. -Will and persistence.
Thank you so much for this day. It's been amazing.
-We had a lot of fun. -Cheers.
-Cheers. -Cheers darlings.
