My Autumn Break
Ryosuke's jersey went unworn since he was injured, but it's ready for his comeback.
Today is our first day back to school since the Autumn break. Even though the break was only for one week, it was good because it gave me time to refresh my mind and make a new start.
During the one week, six of the days were training and games and then we had the full day off at the end. But I was injured so I couldn’t play in any of my games though I still went down to all of the games to cheer my team on.
Every day when there would be a game, there would be about three games during that day, and I would have to either video the game or be a linesman. It was my first time doing either of these things and both were much, much harder than I expected. To be honest, they were nearly as hard as playing in the actual game!
Watching my team play everyday was difficult because I wanted to play very badly. While I watched them play, I noticed what I was doing well in games and also what I was doing not so well. But just watching every day was not very fun however, seeing what I need parts of my game I need to improve has motivated me even more.
Starting today, I am playing again and I am really looking forward to trying out what I have learned in the last week.
