Looking for a light

I woke up at 0426am today and haven been able to sleep since. This despite sleeping at 0100hrs earlier on. Dunno whats wrong wif me. And the best thing is I am completely awake now, reading up soccer notes and stuff like dat. Once I woke up I tried hard to sleep but just kept thinking bout Wednesday's match. Sometimes I wish I could turn time forward to match day so I can rid of all the anxiety,but well this is what being a soccer caoch entails rite? Still rem Rafa's wife complaining that he shouts instructions in the middle of the night when he's dreaming. LOL. Hmmm hope I wont do dat ever though.

I guess the first matchof the season always gets you huh? Its like a gate waiting to be opened, just unsure if it will lead you to a wonderful journey or to a realli terrible one. I pray and believe it will be the former this year, after all the heartache last year. First matches are always dangerous cos there is no form book, well there are no matches to judge one's form on so yeah. Secondly people tend to be much more nervous and not settle down, even your best players can seem off on the day. And of cos lastly, the feeling of being in unfamiliar territory will sometimes wreck things, all the preparation can go down the drain, if one is overawed by the whole occasion.

And having our first match on away ground does not augur well, I hope the girls can concentrate on the match and not all the noise around them, cos I am sure there will be plenty. We may have played a reasonable number of friendlies but dat will count for nothing if we fail to apply into this match.

I hope we can get a comfortable, confident-boosting win on Wednesday, but it all depends on the girls more than anyone else. Something tells me dat if we do, this will be the last time I am up at this unearthly hour.

Out.
