Tension is Rising
Saturday, March 14, 2009
I'm blogging now while some of my team mates are playing cards while the others are busy watching the Manchester United versus Liverpool match.
We're all still down in KL for the National Floorball Training and they are bunking at my place.
So, while I have some time on my hands, let me just update a little on what's been happening.
Surprisingly, training has been reasonably "easy going" so far.
No "killers"... yet.
Personally though, I'm feeling the pressure immensely already.
My main position in the team is to command the back line as a defender and it hasn't been going too well.
Making one blunder after another, getting out of position, lacking skill in ball control, etc. - All these haven't been fueling in good energy and spirit.
Admittedly, I'm mentally going downhill and I know it.
And playing with a bunch of experience players doesn't necessarily makes things easier for me.
It's rather tensing'fying, if there's ever such word.
So, for my sake, let me just heave a sigh of relief for surviving through yet another day of a training.
For now, I'm just praying really REALLY hard that I won't disappoint my team mates during the real thing cause' for now, I think I have and I can tell you,
it ain't a good feeling at all.
Tomorrow will be the last training session before we leave for Korea on the 22nd March.
Come, let's sigh again.

I just want to affirm you that you deserve to be part of the team. You have definitely shown great improvement. It's never easy playing with better players, but remember "you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you" Phil 4:13 (one of the verse that became reality when I was involved in WFC...it's powerful!)
=) i'm proud of you
Hey Penny, thanks for the encouragement! Just what I needed to boost some self-confidence!
During the friendly this morning I almost lost my "cool" on court with the intense pressure I felt I was carrying and for that split moment, I forgot the purpose behind my passion for the sport. Wah, straight away sub myself out, sat on the bench and said a silent prayer to cool my head.
Tension siut.
But yea, it's really not easy playing with a good team with good players. Just gotta work harder I guess :)
