So, I took a train to Venlo. Haven't done that in a while. One of the perks of living in Düsseldorf is that you can take a short train ride from the main station and visit Holland. Gate 4. Train RE13. It drives every hour at :49. I used to go there when ever I needed some time just to get away from everything, clear my head and listen to my own thoughts. Usually I read a book, took one with me, but I couldn't read this time. Lately I am just tired of all the information circulating around me and around the whole world.

Stari, nisan mislia da ću ikada ovo napisati, ali kako me snerva Estiarte. 20 godina ga ni ćut, ni vidit i onda mi se iz niotkuda pojavi sa onon svojon parolon "Water polo will never die". Podsjetilo me na zadnju scenu iz onog filma sa Bruce Lee-jen, U Zmajevom Gnijezdu. Znate onu scenu kada specijalci dolaze cili nabrijani u već riješenu situaciju. Tako i on. Mislin da je svima već jasno da vaterpolo neće izumrijeti.

Herr. Zellmer popped on my radar more then a year ago. His FB profile looks something like this. Michael “Mize” Zellmer, a two time Olympian Water Polo Goalie from Hannover, Germany and currently lives in Huntington Beach, California. I used to study in California. I currently live in Germany. Also Goalkeeper. Honestly I don't know who added who over Facebook, but for the whole duration of our “friendship” I was always paying attention to what Herr Zellmer was doing with his goalkeeper academy.

Less then a year and a half ago I was just a guy who posted that 15 second video. Making certain moves elevated me to a place where across the world and on two languages “Who's who” of the Water Polo world reads what I have to say. I have decided to write both on English and on my native language. Writing in English gives me potentially a way bigger reach, but writing in Croatian brings me a more influential one. Not to disrespect the rest of the Water Polo world, but I think that the Balkan region is still the most respected one when it comes to the true knowledge about the Game of Water Polo.
