Wednesday, January 19, 2005 My first appearance for the CJC soccer team! Alright.. Maybe I just came in as a substitute, but I'm still pretty happy. Playing alongside the seniors is great and I learnt a few tactical stuff from them. I'm happy because I only had formal training when I was in Primary 6, and being able to progress so far in just 3 weeks is somewhat of an achievement to me. I really have to thank my coach, Mr Ho, for taking a risk and putting me in the competitive squad even though my fitness was questionable. Also I have to thank Errol, my coach in Salem Fire, for his faith in me and letting me have my first full cap during the friendly match last Saturday, after only one training session with the team previously. I think my aim of breaking into the first team is getting nearer to me, provided that I remain disciplined in my diet and training.I really have to work on my fitness even further. I can feel the effects of my proper diet and jogging. I don't get tired as easily now. Maybe it's because that I have much less pressure now that I'm gelling with the team well. Last week was terrible. I was getting cramps for no apparent reason. Haha. I'm employed as a left-back in both teams I play in, and while Errol is aware of my ability to play in the midfield, I have not demonstrated that ability in the trials for my school last week. I am guessing that Salem Fire already has a regular left midfielder and it won't be good if I just replace him like that. For my school, while Mr Ho recognises that I play in left midfield, I did not perform during the trials. So I really hope to impress during the next few training sessions, with the CJC team and Salem Fire. I really want my place! |
