"You win some, you lose some; yea, but what's your record though?"

Life of an Overseas Hooper

PictureSEEING THE SIGHTS
Let me preface this by saying this is no way shape or form a complaint.

Ok I’m lying it is a complaint. However, it’s not a complaint about my life and what it entails. It is a complaint about the stereotypes involved with it.

Today’s post was first inspired by a conversation I had a with a friend a few months back.  They found out I was in Japan and as soon as I told them, here came the onslaught of questions...Where have you been? What have you seen? How was Tokyo? How’s the night life? Did you visit this? Did you take a picture with that?

Those were all valid questions but I had to find a very polite way to bring them to the simple realization that as much as those were valid questions I wasn’t in Japan on vacation.  On that day, I decided that I should make a PSA and it would be done via a blog post.  The blog post would be about being overseas and what people automatically thought when I told them what part of the world that I was.  Suffice to say I hadn’t gotten around to writing it or it would have been up before now.  Then last week I saw an article online in which someone had so eloquently described the very sentiments that I felt about this topic.  While reading, it was like the writer was in my head and then left to go write it, then didn't tell me about it.  So instead of paraphrasing, or summarizing or just flat out repeating what she said in the article, here’s the link.

The Truth About Playing Overseas by Tiffany Clarke.

It is written by a fellow blogger and overseas hooper.  I’m sure all my other overseas athletes can thoroughly agree and identify with these sentiments.

Read, enjoy, and feel free to share your thoughts and opinions as well.

Thanks
