Crucial Match I

#5 things that I am worried about for tomorrow’s match
[This was what was asked and this is what I wrote.]


1) Nervous team-mates
2) Low morale infecting everyone
3) Lost of hope
4) Over confidence
5) Reduction of error not carried out


----------------------------

Initially, I knew that I wasn’t asked what they were just now because he probably thought that I won’t brood over all this worries that we were asked to list out. Admittedly, I have to confess I agreed in the beginning. However, now that I have actually been made to sit down and brood over whatever worries I may have, the anxiety seems to set in. I know I wont be playing and the worries and pressure isn’t as immense, but its still there nonetheless. Was it a good idea than, to have made us think about our worries? I was quite skeptical when he requested the stating of at least 5 worries. For all you know, some may not have that many worries and by making them think up of it has created more worries for them as an end result. Maybe I’m missing the whole objective here, but I guess what I am trying to say is basically a lot of “what ifs” are popping up in my head.

I decide that I am going to block them out and ignore them because that’s the best way I deal with anxiety. I just thought that this entry was in order since the first crucial match is tomorrow, explains the title.

The world’s best athletes never win. Athletes who play the best however, are the ones who win.
