Nordic Championships 2023 – GD1
Then it was GAME TIME!!
Long day at Täljehallen on Tuesday, and even if I only had three games I NEEDED to cover.. I think I did about 9 or 10. But that is the problem when you really have a passion for what you do, and always feel like you could do more… more video, more photos, another BTS clip.. just anything and everything.
So – photographed the three Finland games (reason why I am here) and then also started to do some video from the tournament, and now am contemplating whether to put out one ‘episode’ each day..or do one really long one at the end of the tournament. Not that anyone will watch the 10-15 minutes of footage.. so few 2-3 minute clips probably makes more sense.
On another note.. might need to some of the team physios look at my finger… honestly might need to keep this most really short as my left index finger is killing me… just any pressure on it is causing pain. And funnily enough an index finger is one that one uses a lot when typing on a laptop. So.. any doctors or nurses out there… please tell my why my finger hurts!?? (my guess is that I’ve banged it on something during a photoshoot or stuff.. and now it’s decided to flare up… just a pain in the … well, finger!)
Back to the first game day – really fun to at a tournament again.. and these Nordic ones are always a great event. Lots of different teams, different levels of game… but always fun, so it is kinda catching on when you are on the baseline and shooting the game. Always during this one weeks event, you get more celebrations than you do during the rest of the year. Youth event are just the best!
Södertälje as a city – it’s OK. Some nice walks.. plenty of construction work… heck of lot of seagulls (Helsinki Seagulls… I think you might need to move here to play 😉 ) …haven’t had a chance to eat anywhere out yet (surprise??) so not commenting on that.
The arenas, usual Nordic country basketball venues – and more than enough for this event.
But as said, finger is not happy with the typing on the keyboard… so gonna leave it here and get some Panadol/Burana and see if that helps. Luckily it is NOT my trigger finger, so work goes on as usual.
