Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!
FINALLY.
Finally managed to settle everything for the girls soccer, admin wise I mean, I swear if I have to go thru this next year I will just collapse lar. The schedule is tight but fine, cos it means everybody can play, the issue with the IPs concerning age is also settled, so everything is a-ok.
The next few months will be a precarious balancing act which involves school and the team, but I realli believe I can pull of both. But I must say the sense of relief is something I havent felt for a long while, cos the agony was realli too much. 5 bloody pimples on my already scarred face cos of all the stress. Lets just hope its all worth it.
On another note, yesterdae I spoke to the girls, ok rather lambasted them for not having the correct positive "can-do" attitude towards the game, I hope they have all learnt something, I dont want us to do badly because of all things, our mental state, dat is simply inexcusable. Well the good news is we have another month before the comp starts so its all looking up, with the friendly matches in hand, and our new "home" at ECP, I think we can do this.
Speaking about mental state, today an article came out about Singapore getting whcked like 100 plus to 16 in Commonwealth netball. And u noe what the people said, they complained syaing there was no way cos the Aussies are taller, and even went far enough as to say that we should be given handicap in the future. I mean seriously, why not just ask to play in the special olympics? This is what I mean, the whining must stop, no excuses must be made, if we do well, its cos we work for it, and if we dont, dont start blaming your oppo for being too good, or this or that being against you.
This is what I mean for the team. Whether we do well or not in the comp, its not about the fixtures, not about the style of play, not about how good the oppo is. It all comes down to ourselves. I think that the netball team is setting an awful example to the rest of the country. Dont have to say sorry cos we got trashed, just admit tht its the teams fault and start working on other things. I noe I dont noe much about netball, but though height can give u an advantage, it doesnt mean that short ppl cannot play, they just have to find more ways around it, more fluid play around the perimeter, more accurate shooting, more plyometric exercises so the girls can jump much higher.
Remember everybody, whether u think u can, or u think you cant. You're right.
Out.
