UHH OHH

The crazy thing about this soccer season is how fast it had gone by considering it felt like it started yesterday and we have already had two games and the third tonight. On top of this we have done really well maintaing an un-injured team. Which for us, is massively impressive. The problem we happen to be facing is illness, we currently have two girls out for mono, one for flu, and several borderline players with a rediculous amount of nagging symptoms. We have even reached into our JV roster and pulled up some players for our game tonight. Our team is rather shallow, and far past diminished. We play Jeff tonight, a cross town rival, and it happens to be our game that is on tv this season. It will be a struggle but I'm sure that we can handle it. It is going to take a lot of stepping up not only from the upperclassmen but also some responsibility needs to be taken by the sophomore class. It is really frustrating having such a young team at times because we lack maturity, and often the sophomores who are capable of doing more stop adn expect the upperclassmen to do the work. When there are only 6 of us, and 10 sophomores. It can be kind of rediculous. Let me tell you. When you have to listen to GOOD JOB, EASY WIN, YEAH, GOOD TACKLE, every single time you do something wrong then by god the sophomore class is for you. A couple of them really know how to push your buttons. It isn't in a positive way, that is the only problem that I have, it is because she doesn't like you, not that she is motivating another player. That is just plain disrespectful. If you want to be a good, and well respected player you need to shut up, weork harder, and take some responsibility. That shit doesn't come easy it involves that blood, sweat, and tears. We have to stop bickering and stop coming to practice when were sick and hacking all over the place. It is going to be an effort to be made by the entire group, it wont come by one or three or five. It is going to take the whole team. That is probably what scares me the most because this team has a lot of catching up to do. Emotionally, physically, healthwise, relationshipwise, and on the soccer field.
