Coaches representing Brentford Football Club are currently on an exciting work placement.
Josh Hinckson, who works in the Club’s Academy, and Ryan Peters, who played for The Bees between 2004 and 2008 and now works for Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, are in the middle of a nine-day placement in Palestine.
More information can be seen here.
Ryan is writing a blog about his time in Palestine.
The first two days can be seen below.
We arrived safely in Tel Aviv and after a few testing questions at visa control and a few shifty answers from Josh and myself, they allowed us through.
The car was there to greet us and what he assured us was an 1hr 30 min drive, only took 40mins of fast driving, horn blowing and near death driving experiences (nice car though).
The hotel is lovely, we are staying in the same hotel as the football teams that are due to take part in the football tournament over the next week.
After a debrief from the FA representative here, we were given a chance to coach a team that we meet tomorrow and we will also sit in on an A licensed course which will be going on this week in the Joseph Blatter Academy.
Today has been nice, a real experience for Josh and I.
We will update you further when there's more to say. Ryan
