What's Next?


Tournament is over the high from the vacation is gone I'm back to work. It's not bad because I love my job if I can't play I can do the next best thing and help other young athletes get to where I couldn't. An agent wants to represent me he believes he can get me on a team. The issue is he's not sure where of it's even in this country. Dilemma... do I let go of something I fought so hard to keep alive? I guess when you get to a certain age it's time to start thinking about your future, so does it benefit me leaving my job and playing 2 years of football overseas? I think not. What about if it was in Canada? I don't know it's something I have to talk to my work about because I don't want to leave my job. Or is it beneficial for me to be an athlete and still work from abroad? Answer I don't have now I've learned not to search for them and let them come.


I guess the other thing that's on my mind is the situation with my x. I stopped talking to her by phone over a year ago and by text or facebook 6months ago. I accused her here on my blog that she cheated on me from and unknown source. I never spoke to her about it.. It just felt better to accept it and use it as a tool to move on. It turns out I was wrong so I apologize but it still doesn't change what happened. I've grown and matured since then I can forgive but never forget. We communicated briefly it was nice but it took my back to place when I was growing threw hell it didn't feel good. Anyways enough about that I've change and moved on.

Here are some more photos from my trip

THE COME BACK


Eve before I take off I feel ready unafraid for what is to happen. I just ask the God watches over me like he always has and bless me with everything I wanted. The journey has been bitter sweet more bitter than sweet, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I will try to blog as much as possible when i'm down there but if not follow me on twitter. Austria here I come!

THE COME BACK

Been away for a little bit I have moved closer to work and have been doing alot of videos for work as well. That cupped with training and work the blog some how go push back on the to do list.  Here is a little taste of what I have been doing over the last 2 Months if you want to see more visit our you tube channel  ATHLETES NATION TV  











10 days out marks the beginning of the trip, over these last few weeks I have been up and down. It's somehow hard to believe that after 3 years I will be playing football again. Now that we are a little closer I have some dates, I will be leaving Edmonton June 24th heading to London, Ont for training camp. Then leaving for Austria July 2nd it's a great feeling know that I will be playing again I just hope I can knock the rust off as fast as possible. 3 years is a long time not to be playing and I have to be at my best. Here is the link to stay up to date on the tournament WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL  I will not be bringing a laptop down to most probably will  be tweeting more so than blogging. Hit me on twitter @sammyokpro I will try to do a video here before I leave in the old school format no editing, hopefully I can get all my work affairs done. It's been a great journey so far and if my life were a movie I'd think this would be the climax. I have no clue what is going to happen after this tournament but I am ready for the good and bad. Special shout out to my family and friends for supporting me up until this point.
