OK so I think i've turned a corner. It's now the third season of playing soccer in waterloo. My fitness is slowly (italics mine) improving. My statistics are improving. My +/- ... might be improving. But i think i've turned a corner. When I started i knew my limits... I knew when i was beat. I knew that i wasn't going to catch up to the ball so i might as well not even try...
Last night i didn't get back when i should have and the other team scored... it was all my fault...
so i had to redeem myself.
so when i saw a ball going out i thought... i can get that.... if i slide....
So like a said. I've turned a corner. yeah, the sacrifice your body for the game corner that i turned last night... yeah, not going to try that again.
I now know why they call it carpet burn.
