I trained with the club Kvarnsveden’s u19 team in Borlänge, Sweden. Their first week of training back was my last week in Sweden, so I was able to go to 3 practices. My plan is to practice with them again next summer.* ---   ![Persson Action 1](https://blog.htxsoccer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Persson%20Action%201.jpg?width=600&name=Persson%20Action%201.jpg)   Q. What did you find different training in Sweden with a professional team than training with the Houston Dash? *A. I noticed there was a technical emphasis in their practices and all the players were very skilled. They also worked tactically and let the players find their own solutions to different situations that might happen in a game.* ---   ![Ellen Florida Showcase Dec2018](https://blog.htxsoccer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ellen%20Florida%20Showcase%20Dec2018.jpg?width=600&name=Ellen%20Florida%20Showcase%20Dec2018.jpg)   Q.  What were the most challenging things that you incurred while training overseas? *A. I found the language was challenging at first because I didn’t know some soccer terms in Swedish like “man on”, but they helped me and I learned quickly.* --- ![Persson Action](https://blog.htxsoccer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Persson%20Action.jpg?width=600&name=Persson%20Action.jpg)   Q. What did you enjoy about the experience of training with the club? *A. I liked meeting the players and coaches, they were really friendly. I thought it was super fun to be able to play with players my age from another country and to see what the quality was like, which ended up being really good. I also liked the chilly temperature😊.* --- ![Kvarnsveden2](https://blog.htxsoccer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Kvarnsveden2.jpg?width=600&name=Kvarnsveden2.jpg)   Q.
