Football Season 2

A new school year, means the start of a new football season and here I am in the blue teams or the Maestros, so far I am leading the charts with 14 clean sheets in 4 weeks, which is not too bad. Our team is leading the the tournament and I hope it will stay that way, although me and Stefan continue to battle on the pitch for points, the third member of or trio did not make the team. Hopefully sometime during the season he will be able to play again. I do love football especially when I actually had time to sleep and my reaction is good, this year I hope that I will not foolishly injure myself by cracking my elbow against the parquet and should work on my dives some more, although on a hard wooden floor it is quite painful. Playing football helps me to

  • Increase my awareness for my strengths and weaknesses
  • Show perseverance and commitment
  • Develop new skills
  • Be part of a team
I made it this far, after the summer sports camp and the pre-season practices I now play for two teams in the same club, this includes the 1996 team and the Junior Team, which includes player from 16-20. This rids me of any free time, but when haven't I enjoyed a good brawl, after all that what hockey is all about... The goals, the hits and the fights. To be fair when I play for the Junior team I've got to dodge hits most of the time and this year I aim to gain some muscle mass to have a mass of about 95kg, then I might have a chance of taking down the bigger ones, now I'm just too small for it. This will link into weight-lifting and athletics as they will help me improve on my physical condition, the only problem at the moment are the injuries I received: a disconnected shoulder and my two wrists that were bruised in the last game, when my hands were slashed across with the blade of a hockey stick.
In the 1996 team I am the leading defence-man at the moment, most of the game is focused on me, thus more responsibility and exactly why I go on ice along with my injuries. I am supposed to set an example by showing sportsman-like conduct (as the players have problems with penalties) and actually showing how a defence-man should play.

  • This increased my awareness of my strengths and areas of growth
  • This enabled me to work collaboratively with others
  • Shown perseverance in my activity (12 years running, dare you to beat that
In the near future I would like to work on my slap-shots and backhanders, as well as practicing boarding players.
