Monday brought a great surprise when I learned my English class was cancelled. What an excitement. I'll take any extra time I have to get a quick nap in. It's amazing how much an hour nap can help things. Besides that, the day was a normal one.
Everyone thought coming in to practice that Coach was going to be angry and it was going to be a hard practice after our poor loss on Saturday. Turns out, Coach had a different idea. We spent the day playing a session of handball which is like soccer except you throw the ball around. We then played small-sided four on four tournaments. Even the four coaches got in on the play. Coach took the approach that we needed to return to our roots and try to have fun. That's the real reason we all play soccer is because we all enjoy it and sometimes it just gets too serious. It was nice to have a fun practice and reaffirm why we all truly play the game; It's simply fun. You should always remember why you work so hard at something. If something you generally enjoy gets to be too much of a job and is unenjoyable, you should take a step back and have a good time every once and a while.
Of course today will be back to business in preparation for Washington College coming to play us Wednesday. We need to get back to winning. Refocusing engaged.
Have some fun,
