Mike McCann visits English class!

The famous full-time hockey trainer Mike McCann came to Mr Savage’s English class last Tuesday and answered all the questions you posted on our school paper wall. We have summarized the most important facts for you: Mike is thirty-two years old and he was born in Sydney (Australia); he travelled a lot around the world but he lives in Mannheim (Germany) now, as he works there. Even though Mannheim is the smallest city he has ever lived in, he really likes it. At first Mike thought that Germans were uptight, that they always concentrated on their work and that they did not enjoying themselves, but after living here for some time he changed his mind. He likes German food and beer (especially ‘Weizenradler’), while hanging out with some mates. However, Mike still misses Sydney, his family and friends and the beautiful beaches. He got really excited when he was talking about ‘Watsons Bay’ and ‘Bondi Beach’. Mike also recommended to stay in the city rather than in the suburbs if you want to have some fun in Sydney.

     But let us talk about sports now! Mike was four years old when he got involved in hockey, at the age of thirteen he started playing in a senior men’s team where he had to train at least three nights a week and at the age of nineteen he started coaching a club team. Was it difficult for him to combine school and hockey? Yes, it was! Mike mentioned that he was not interested in school but never failed any exams. His favourite subject was English, he told us with a grin on his face, because he did not have to do a lot of work as his friends read the English books for him. Unbelievable but true, Mike read his first book one year ago and enjoys reading now!
