Hawk Nation,
This is your Director of Athletics, Anton Goff, sending the first
of many blogs about our men’s basketball team's trip to Australia. Today is
Wednesday and we take off on Friday. I am absolutely excited about this
trip. I have never been to Australia, but it has always been on my bucket
list and I am looking forward to finally checking this off! I haven’t
started packing yet, but I did just receive our detailed itinerary for the
trip. We will be gone from Friday, August 15 through Thursday, August
28. That is a lot to pack for, but I think I can handle it.
Specifically, we will be traveling to the Australian cities
of Sydney, Melbourne, and Cairns. During this tour, we will play five very
competitive games. One of the great things about this trip are all of the
different experiences it will provide our student-athletes. Many of them
do not get the opportunity to travel abroad during the school year, so this
will give our team the opportunity to experience a foreign country and culture. Additionally, I believe this trip will
also serve as a great team building experience. I know we all will get to
know each other a lot better after traveling on a plane for about 24 hours each
way. I think we all expect to have some great lifetime memories from this
trip.
Well, Hawk Nation, I hope you are as excited as I am for
this upcoming season, and you will continue to follow us on our first of many
trips. I will do my best to keep everyone informed during our
Australia trip. Hopefully, you will feel like you are a part of the team by getting a first-hand look at everything we are experiencing while we are Down Under. I will also be Tweeting from
Down Under, so for up-to-date pictures, scores, and other happenings, follow me
on Twitter: @AD_Goff_UHart.
It’s almost time to take “Hawk Nation
Domination” Down Under. Come fly with the Hawks (or just read my
blog). LOL!!!
-Anton
