So today is the last practice before the season opener.
My first match of the season. I'm pretty confident i'll be starting, seeing as how there aren't that many players on the senior 2 team. Right now, that is. Yeah, i've been chosen for the senior 2 team, and that means my boss and landlord will be my coach. He says he has a strict policy of "you train, you play." This is good. Also, he's been working on my passing with me to correct it. Each practice he's noticed something to tell me and we try to fix it. Like for some reason i've always passed off of my back foot and never noticed it. Also, I've always held the ball totally wrong. These things I've situated and I am trying to change the 5 years of habit associated with these things. Training is good. He has it planned out to 3 20 minute periods. 1- skills, 2- fitness, and 3 breaking up into backs and forwards and going over game situation stuff. I'm looking forward to tonights practice.
This saturday we play Avalon. It should be good. Dunno if I'll be fullback and first 5, or both.
Cheers

Looks like the time has come! Glad to hear you are accepting the changes to your game your coach is offering. Your going to be AMAZED how much better you will play from a few tweaks here and there. Good luck in your first match! Concentrate on making ALL of your tackles. Let the offense happen for you cause it will. Your solo tackles will make or break you in the eyes of your coaches. I realize you are overwhelmed with all of the new stuff being thrown at you, however if you would begin to create a list of things that you could offer to Boyd that may help out the UL kids, that would be a GREAT THING! Perfect example, the simple act of passing off your back foot. I bet most of the UL players are doing that?
