Assessment #3

My heart was beating fast. It was make or break today. It was the last game of football of the year. My last shot. I needed the pass if I wanted to get to the next level.

Week 13

My request for late night games worked because two rescheduled games appeared for the week. I accepted both game offers and prepared for a bit of travel. The first game was Monday night at a local school. I had already been there a few weeks ago so I knew what to expect in terms of facilities.

Monday

I arrived at the school about 27 minutes before kick-off. I was rather annoyed at being three minutes past when I wanted to be there.

A blast of hail and chilly wind during the games had us shivering and frozen. My glasses kept my eyes protected from the onslaught as the ice-pellets bounced off them. I really wondered

Long Weekend, Weather & Injury Scare

Easter weekend with Friday off and the weather couldn’t have been much better! Sitting at 10 degrees on Saturday and a few mounds of snow means that spring is on it’s way. With spring means the football season kick-off approaches ever closer. It also means that training can be taken outside! Mother nature is sending mixed signals today though with the light snow and strong wind so I might be speaking too soon and the snowstorm of a lifetime could come crashing in so I am just conjecturing here but good weather always brings a good mood!
