disregard...

and this is the part of life i like to call: ranting

disclaimer: this is going to be completely a rant about field hockey.
so if you don't care, don't read it.

ok, so basically, we've been a team for maybe 3 weeks. we've played two games. we lost both of these games.
what i CANNOT STAND is people on the team saying "we suck. oh my god, why do people even play." seriously. we're a team. we're in this together. we win together and we lose together.
also, everyone needs to own up.
i'm the goalie. if a goal is scored it's my fault. and i take responsibility for that. but, i've only been a goalie for three weeks.
people have only been playing offense for 3 weeks.
and some people are just new to the sport in general.

start taking ownership. we all made mistakes at every game. deal with it and move on. we can only go up from here.

anyway, i just wanted to get that out there.
leave everything on the field. don't take any aggresions out with you. if you're angry with the team, be angry with the team on the field. there's no reason to point fingers.

also, i just wanted to elaborate on the goalie thing.
that was my first game ever as a goalie.
katie has been a goalie before.
i've never done it other than practices.
it's a learning experience and i appreciate the feedback.
and you don't understand the stress that builds during games.
and how much you beat yourself up.
if a goal goes by it's your fault, plain and simple.
but it's also a team thing.

moral of the story: field hockey...
