Started my week off
with a visit to the Egyptian museum in Torino called Muzeo Egizio. It's actually considered one of the best
in the world.
Lots of interesting things to look at and read about throughout
the museum. Not only was it a good
time, but it only cost 12 Euros ($12.64)...what a deal! Going to one of the museums or
attractions in Chicago usually costs upward of 30 dollars. In case any of you find your
way to Torino, I suggest the Egyptian museum.
On to football...one aspect of football that I want to be involved with here in Italy is that of a returner on special teams. Maybe I wasn’t qualified
for that position at Notre Dame, but I am excited to step up to that role here.

Follow @HSFBamerica
KTBC-TV Fox 7 in Austin is reporting that high school football injuries declined for the third straight year in Texas.
According to a report obtain by the station from the University Interscholastic League, the state's governing body for high school sports, there were 3,200 injuries last year - down from 4,000 in 2012. The UIL says there were 12,000 high school football injuries from 2010 through the 2013 season.
The most common injury was a sprain with concussions being the second most common, but the number of concussion cases also dropped last year. The report does not cover every school in the state.
The report goes on to say that most injuries occurred during games and not in practice and that most injuries didn't require a trip to the hospital.

Football Americano - Week 4
by Chris Salvi
Free Safety, Torino Giaguari
Follow @CSalvi24
The fourth week is in the books and the team is only two
short weeks from the home opener against the Rhinos of Milan. This week brought
some adventure and a chance to learn something new.
First off, I must thank my roommate Niles Mittasch for giving me his Italian book to learn some more words and phrases. I also have to thank him for being very patient with me while I learned how to use our manual car (stick shift).
Some of you may be thinking to yourselves “it’s not that hard.” - yes, yes it is very hard. I have never done it in my life and on top of that it I’m in a crowded European city.
Have you ever been around the roads of a city in Europe? If you haven’t then you cannot understand the difficulty! That said it has been fun and I am glad that now I am starting to get the hang of it.
Niles is a seasoned vet when it comes to using a manual car; he has only stalled the car out one time in a month. That is impressive, given we just got back from Sunday lunch at a friends house and I stalled the car three times.

And the Oscar goes to....Undefeated
by Jeff Fisher
Follow @HSFBamerica
The February 23, 2012 High School Football America radio show was fun for me. I was joined by Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin, the directors of the then Oscar-nominated Undefeated in the category of Best Documentary.
Both guys were extremely excited about walking the red carpet and I was equally as excited to hear them tell the story of how they went from an idea of following the Manassas (Memphis, Tennessee) High School football team during the 2009 high school football season to Hollywood celebs in 2012. It was even more fun to see their energy on stage holding their golden statues.
In honor of tonight's Oscars, I'm re-posting that fun interview with Dan and TJ that took place three days before becoming the toast of Tinseltown.
To round-out the Cinderella story, I brought the star of the show, Manassas head coach Bill Courtney on the show in January to discuss how his life had changed since Undefeated won the Oscar. Coach Bill, who retired after the 2009, was just as enjoyable to talk with and you can listen to that interview below.
I'm also looking forward to talking with Coach Courtney later this spring when his first book called Against the Grain is released in May.
This is how the book is described on Amazon: In Against the Grain, Bill Courtney shares his convictions on the
fundamental tenets of character, commitment, service, leadership,
civility, and others that, in his decades of success as an entrepreneur
and educator, have proven to be the keys to a winning and meaningful
life and career. Each chapter tells the story of one of these tenets
through compelling anecdotes of the colorful characters in Bill’s life,
leading to a deeper understand of the meaning of each and how to
employee these fundamentals in all aspects of one’s life. Against the
Grain intertwines inspiring and thought-provoking anecdotes, lessons,
and amazing real life examples. Bill’s passion for us all to reconsider
our own approach to life and constantly improve upon it comes across on
every page.
How far has the humble Coach Bill come from 2009? Phil Jackson, the Zen master himself, wrote the forward.
