 "The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor." 

Vince Lombardi said this, and I agree wholeheartedly with him. I know it's a hard act to follow but I am going to try and live it, at least with some areas beginning with the tiny aspects. The last 2 soccer games, I have run hard, tried as well to be a team player as I know how. After sitting on the bench almost the whole of last season, I had began to question whether I was up to the mark for soccer in Division One. Mind over matter, I told myself to fight those doubts and concentrate on trying to win the game for the team and the results have been positive.  

Yesterday after the game at Meridien JC, the coach came up to me and told me I have been playing well , that I should try to make time and play in more friendly games before the season begins, he said there was nothing wrong with my technique, that I am fast enough and good enough skill-wise, the only thing I need is to toughen up so I am not so easily hustled and pushed off the ball, to play with more confidence so I don't panic and make the wrong decision.  "As a winger you need to be cunning, you are skinny so don't fight with them on strength, when they come at u with their body, you need to know how to get out of the way without losing the ball."
