When doing a full IB, it is difficult to remain positive when you could be home studying as you "warm the bench". The thing I was enforced of, yet agin, is the importance of team work. To keep your friends motivated, to participate in training and to be positive during games is very important to get good team-work. Winning also contributes, but that is a result of practicing. I'm not so sure I accomplished that this season. I got frustrated and upset when I didn't get to play and I got angry with the referee when they made strange calls. I also got quite angry when my team mates didn't show up for practice, but still got to play in the matches.
Our football season was mixed, with brilliant results at the beginning of the year but with defeats in the end of the season. We did not progress as far as we had anticipated, therefore I am angry because this season cannot be compared to the last one. Even though we reached the final last year, hopes were even higher for a return there.
I'm proud of that I didn't quit and that I was working with my bad temper all through the season. I truly love football, but I think I'm not going to do the tryouts next year. It is just too time consuming. Maybe Taekwondo is more for me: you develop quite quickly and it is an individual sport, and maybe this is one of my conclusions from this experience. I will not achieve my goal of being on the Varsity team next year, but I will absolutely continue to play for fun. My new plan is to do the pick-up games at the U.N, maybe not every week but always when I'll have the time to spare, and always just to have fun!
