This was an interesting game. The weather was hot, pitch was hard and both teams looked very tired. Both defenses played well, but both offenses struggled. Hot weather, fatigue, average reffing and a low-scoring game combined to create a very messy game.
We played a decent game and had some great chances. Only one thing troubled me with this game. We out shot them, they won - doesn't trouble me. We had some easy chances, still doesn't trouble me. We had some bad calls and those calls directly affected our game - this troubles me.
When we let others determine how we play we will have a tougher time winning games. In life, you can only control one thing, you. That's why golf is such a great sport - you can truly only blame yourself. Everyone else is playing the same course with the same weather and the same rules. If you don't want to have others influence the way a game is played, play golf.
You can learn a lot from golf:
1. You break the rules, you get penalized, no referee determines this
2. You can only blame yourself for your score
3. Each hole is a new hole
4. Even if you don't play a great round, you still should have fun
I love golf, even if I have a terrible round here or there. I know that at any moment I can have that one shot that makes the whole round worth it.
We start winning, all this analysis becomes a great foundation for us to win any game. We know what it's like to lose and we don't want to feel it anymore.
Player of the Game: Elijah Nimmer - great defense, stepped into the midfield, won a lot of balls out of the back.
