Great Week In CanadaHi all,
Sorry i am only updating you now... the internet here has been limited!! I arrived here in Vancouver on Sunday afternoon. We had a short journey from LA... it was just under 3 hours. We started to train Monday morning and the schedule for the week was very tough. We had training every day from 930 till 330 with a one hour break at 12. The training consisted of a lot of multi shuttle, a lot of footwork and a lot of 2 v 1 exercises. Some of the multi shuttle programs have been crazy... but they have been great and exactly what i need a few weeks before the Olympic's. Today we had running in the afternoon after a multi session in the morning. The running was outside on a running track in the heeeaaat :) it was so hot!!! I have training again tomorrow morning and then we fly back to Denmark tomorrow afternoon. I will spend a few days in Denmark before i arrive home on the 23rd. I will keep everyone posted on what my plans will be while i am in Denmark and back in Ireland.
I would just like to say thanks to Darryl, Lauge and Thomas for all their help during the week, it has been great!!
Keep visiting :)
ScottBLOG - Back on courtHi all,
Today was my last session with the physio here in the US. My ankle is much better now... almost all of the swelling has gone and i am not feeling any pain anymore!!! After my session with the physio this morning i went down to the hall and did a few lights things on court. It was nice to get back on court and my ankle felt good. I didn't feel any pain which is great... so i am looking forward to Monday when i will start training again. I will do one gym session over the weekend and also a lot of strenght exercises for my ankle because i need to build it back up again so this won't happen again!!
Thats all for now... I just want to wish chloe the best of luck tonight when she plays her semi final.

ScottBLOG - US Open InjuryHi All, Unfortunately I had to pull out of the US yesterday due to injury. I was training in the hall on Monday and twisted my ankle. I thought it would be ok but overnight some swelling appeared and it was quiet painful and difficult to walk on so yesterday morning I went to see the Physio here for a professional opinion. His advice was to skip this tournament as I could do some irreversible damage if I played on the ankle and I don’t think that’s a risk I could take just 5 weeks ahead of the Olympic Games. So I suppose the decision, while very disappointing, was an easy one to make. I woke up this morning and the swelling has already starting to go down a bit but I know that this is the right decision on this occasion as its all about the Olympics for me at this point in time. All the best Scott
