(S30) PT 1 - Going International

[dude_man]

Ironically, NOLA sent me over to Mexico to spread American football knowledge around to help those that aren’t aware of the rules and mechanics of football. And playing in Tijuana for a couple years, I thought it was perfect since I’d have a brand over there. Obviously, I wasn’t going back specifically to Tijuana, but I went a little more down South like Jalisco, and man, it’s crazy over there. I was able to have a translator at my disposal explaining the rule set of American football. It was a bit harder than I realized since some words don’t actually literally translate straight through. I had to explain to the translator certain things before I realized how big the workload was going to be. After that was set up, I set up little workshops like the 40-yard dash for everyone, and the throwing at a target. It was a lot of fun and I think it was a great turnout. I know that we don’t have much of a market out there, but it would be great to work on that since we are an international league. So more time, effort, and resources would be needed to really build stuff out there more south, like even going down to Panama and South America.
