There was a tournament today with Paf chapter City school. And yeah SJC lost. Not that we were bad or anything, but we just did not pick up what the other team was doing like they did with us. They learned our tactics and used it against us while we just continued doing nothing new. I really don’t blame our team. Considering the fact that our coach (well, our sports teacher, since we have no coach, but coach sounds cool) is a sixty year old lady teaching us the new rules of netball just 3 days before the tournament, while we played ith the old rules since seventh grade. The only fault that was ours was that we did not practice enough. No one bothered staying after school to practice or anything. The only practice anyone did was the Goal person (shoot) who practiced shooting for 10 minutes. So considering all that, we were pretty awesome. In the first half of the game, our team made 3 consecutive goals while they had none, ending with 4-1 as the score. In the second half, they picked up our tactics, were more aggressive and determined. They made goal after goal until it reached 5-8. Losing was bad. It was embarrassing. But the other team from our school (metric section) won their game with another school. So thats better. At least our school wont be laughed at.
The problem with all of us is the lack of determination and our laziness. I know because it made us losers. All we needed was to give a hundred and ten percent. Not ten.
