League game round 5
As I said before, I cant wait for saturdays becos, on saturdays, we get to play FLOORBALL!!!
I must say, today was the best league ive ever played in. The feeling of adrenaline rush!!!! not many thrive under such pressure.. hehe…
Temper Control
I enjoyed todays league cos, today ive achieved a few things. 1 of them was to be able to control my temper. Although this isnt something big, but to me, this was my promise with GOD. I told God long time before, i will never ever scold my teammates again. Then later, i told God I will never piss off another opposition player during a match. Ive sort of overcomed the first 1 but not the 2nd 1. Then came last week, when 1 of the goals i scored was dissallowed, i raised my voice and shouted to the referee and ask "WHY NO GOAL".
Since that day, i went home, feeling very convicted over my actions. I felt that i am so childish. As usual, when i feel bad, I speak to my creator. I asked for His forgiveness and later, i promised him that i will never ever lose my cool against my teammates, opponent and referee…never ever will i do so again. Today, i was tested. Im glad to say, praise the LORD, im able to control my coolness throughout the whole league. I didnt flare my temper on anyone else. I was pissed at the referee when he fouled me for a few inappropriate reasons, but thank GOD, i controlled myself well. I am actually praying hard for GOD to change this area of my life. It runs in the family. But it is the lie of the devil that i cannot overcome it. I know i can overcome it with Jesus. Because patience and gentleness are 2 of the fruit of the spirit. If i bear fruits, i am supposed to have these 2 characters.
Scoring from Long Range.
I had also achieved other goals such as, being able to score from a long range with the Kenny Khoo style trademark " sweep shot ".
Long ago before the PFA tournament, i still remember… i was supposed to play as a right forward. But later, i received a shocking news that my position has been changed to defender. At that point i was dissappointed. I demanded why i was changed. I was told that, ppl felt that i couldnt take shots, so i was dropped from my position.
Since then, i took it as a challenge and made up my mind that i will prove my critics wrong 1 fine day. I practice daily every morning below steven’s house. I took shots after shots, until my whole palm was full of blisters. Because of the wrong technigue i applied, i had to learn it the hard way. My hands was bengkak that i could feel some pain when i hold a pen. But it was worth all the effort.
Steven Tay and Kenny Khoo were the fellows whom taught me every trick i know. They tirelessly and patiently teach me how to take shots. I appreciate every moment they shared with me about their skills.They shared a lot with me about floorball from floorball sticks to their experience in PFA. Without their guidance and most importantly their INSPIRATION and ENCOURAGEMENT, i wouldnt be the player i am today. Thank You brothers for sharing with me.
To me, these 2 brothers will always be the best players in the Frontliners floorball club.
Today, if u see me taking wrist shot, drag shot, slap shot, sweep shot, air hook, this is becos of 2 things, the critics and these brothers whom taught me on how to be a better player. Come 2 think back, critics do help us to be a better person, although at times it hurts…
My team, One Way lost 2 games, draw 1 game and won 1 game…
i managed to score 2 goals. But my teammates on a whole, did played their hearts out and played well… so proud of u fellows. And the game we won, i must say, is the classic match of the whole league. My captain, Serene Tan scored a hattrick. Today’s league is memorable day for me. Hope to see more fun in the challenges ahead.
Thanks….to you too… glad to hear that…
keep in up, Man!
