I’m excited that we got our first win under our belt, on Wednesday against American. Although it wasn’t a very good game, we know what to improve on and go from there.
It was nice to get that first win, although I wasn’t completely satisfied with the way I played. I just felt like I didn’t get the chance to show all that I have. Even though I scored a goal, I felt like I could have done more. My shooting wasn’t accurate and I need to be more creative and confident with my play.
My coach hasn’t specifically said anything to me about my play but I know she looks at me and the other freshmen to help lead the attack. She knows my ability and wants me to do as well as I can.
I know I am nervous about making mistakes and when I think about it, what happens, I make a mistake. I still need to be more confident in myself. I think in general I’m not always as confident as I should be in a lot of things.
I still think the team needs to improve on not being afraid when it is game time. We all kind of make stupid little mistakes when we start the game, little turnovers, and think it is because everyone is afraid to make a mistake.
We’re looking forward to our next game on Wednesday against Old Dominion and hopefully get a little winning streak going. I think we have the ability to do very well in our conference. It all depends if we show up on game day.
Now that games have started, I’m a little more tired at the end of the day and it is harder to get motivated to do my school work, though I always get it done. It has definitely hindered my social life. I haven’t gone out in a while.
Everyone is going away for spring break starting today and I really wish I could be joining them. The baseball and basketball teams are still here and so there will be people on campus, though it will be weird being the only freshman in the dorm. So it will be just me and my roommate Kara alone. And least I’ll get to sleep in and have some time to myself.
I’ll talk to you all next week, hopefully after another win!
