  Welcome home chatty :) SOCCER in a cool breeze Soccer today was great. My leadership kept the score 1-2 leading in the first half. Unfortunately morale wasn’t so good for our lead players. Some of the guys didn’t have it in them to win.
I wish they took advantage of my accurate lobs. I don’t know why they did not repeat what we did before ( I lobed it over defense and Tim just ran past and scored a goal, it was effective simply because of the accuracy of the pass). It was so simple. If they thought it may not work the second time around… they should remember that we had a captain… me, playing with tactics meant we adapt and they can’t.
which means I could pull the trick 2 more times till they get the wiser. They should trust me more. I was holding the rear so that they could goal. Leadership is always giving the glory to the team. The young ones like strength and speed. I admire that, but I’m the type to use my head more often in physically intense situations. My goal was a “trick” shot slipping it beneath the goalie when his weight was forward when he charged to get the ball.
The ball was using it previous momentum and slipped right in. PURE FINESSE!!! I firmly believe that I have a 13+ DX… I think I just have a higher tactics score maybe. The young ones are good, but I play with P700 equipment and got back on the horse after being of it for 5 years. Not bad for an old geazer. I got inspired by “the Rookie” with Denis Quaid- “As you grow old arms supposed to get weaker” was a line in the movie. Here, as I got old my brains is what makes my bronze better than it should be. I notice that people can juggle the ball and put a lot of effort being able to do the trick.
While people learn that trick I slam the ball to the ground and learn to stomp it to a stop, or work on my accuracy (I’ve gotten pretty good, I’m working on spins and at a 45 range). I also have a consistent nick up (where I just hit it light enough at an angle it goes up to an almost vertical direction) which is great for passing in small spaces. Despite Cam’s and JP’s low ability scores relative to the bigger and more experienced players they can be match up with them. Pressure means distract or agitate so that the opponent will make a mistake. With a wing man (jP to cams and vice versa) you can easily take a ball from anybody (good or great soccer players). That’s tactics. I love the HUMIDITY! Its 94% here and it feels like i’m drinking water as I breathe.
I just love it. I can run farther and faster. Everyone took a water break before me. I usually am the first to go for water during the heat NOW he hehe. Tactics- While your body is moving… make your brain move to. I love how tactics and strategy can change the game’s direction. MORALE is important to. I have a high morale even at the face of 8-3 score in the end. I just wish everyone else felt the same.
It seems they don’t know how debilitating it is to have poor morale. I watch soccer games on the TV, and they panic and make mistakes when they are desperate. We only lost to morale… I should praise the other team but when there was not as much TEAM WORK as what we had in ours… I don’t consider it a real effort. Give me a gauntlet (a bunch of blockers) I can bring the ball through them solo at an insanely taxing effort or pass it with almost no effort.
I guess I should give them something to have a high morale about. I should play striker more often now. Goals appeal to them more than my words… and giving them these goals at the sacrifice in defense may make them consider that Catching up is not a far fetched idea. MASS well lola nudged me to stop writing in my journal. I can’t help it, I was so bored. My brain was playing little scenes of swordsmanship and characters I designed. I was conceiving all these cool ideas. I wish I had a chance to max out. I guess I will spend time in nature or someplace serene and think about things like I do in mass.
One thing it taught me is the space to think is always important if you’re the type to get yourself into work you may not need.
