Hi guys,
I hope all of you had enjoyed yourself yesterday. The training is intensive and I can feel it for the first time that people are playing hard to fight for their place!
Such training can only be possible if all of you show up for training. Of course, you will need to be committed and passionate about the game before you can improve. I can see that most of the players are stangant physically, mentally and in terms of skills and knowledge. Myself included. Please do not expect improvements if we are doing the same drills/training week in week out. It is almost disastrous to be doing the same thing week in week out and expect different outcomes.
Whether you are a crusty veteran or fresh newbie, you must believe that you can contribute to Shiok, either on the fields or off the fields. It is about sacrificing yourself be it playtime, training commitment, administrative work or doing simple things like setting up the fields for the benefits and glory of the organisation. You can be winning your individual battle on the field. But are you contributing to the team?Are you cutting off people? Are you helping the team to create space so that another team mate who is in a better position gets the disc?
Shiok is never about individual players. It never be and it never will. It is all about commitment to training. If you want to get better, train smart, train hard and make sure you practice. "Correct practice will make perfect." Practice itself will never make you perfect unless you are doing it correctly. How to do it? Get a mentor. You cannot expect people to come up and coach you. You have to be coachable first. Ask. Ask the right questions.
Come down and continue this great momentum! 27 people for Tuesday Indoor and 28-30 yesterday? Come on. It can only get better. If we can get an RSVP of 32, we will have a hat again. Remember the one which didn't turn out well due to the criket players? Let's do it again.
Shiok and Destroy!
