My summerholiday of 2013 was an amazing experience. The first 10 days of my vacation I went to France with my family. I really liked that quality time with my family because I don’t see them that often anymore because I’m at boarding school during the year. We have spent most of the days at the pool. We had a great week, nice weather, the owners of the house we rented were very nice so we didn’t have anything to complain about. One day my father, sister and I went to a via ferrata. There you can climbe a mountain  by following a secured path with dead rides, bridges and other obstacles.


The rest of the vacation I played basketball for the national team of Belgium U16 which means boys under the age of 16 born in 1997. The European championship took place in Kiëv the capital of Ukraine. Till now that was the biggest and most exiting experience in my life. It was a very exhausting vacation but I loved it. A typical day at the European championship began with a bus trip in the early morning to the training hall for the first practice of the day. After  the practice we had our first meal. Then we had our game preparation where we could observe the next opponent. Around noun we had another meal which was pretty much the same every day ; pasta, chicken and vegetables. The next 2 hours we could relax and sleep in our hotelroom and go to the kiné if  needed. Then the most important moment of the day was the game. We didn’t win many games but we committed  ourselves for 200% every day and by doing so we became a close team. If I could, I would do it over and over again. It was amazing! Hopefully I 'll get selected again this year for the national team of Belgium of the age under 18.
