We lost our first game. We just didn’t play well. The team is in the middle of hard conditioning, and everyone is really tired- even me. The dinner after the game was kind of quiet and no one was really hungry.
Surprisingly, during the past Monday meeting one of the seniors, Julia, got up and gave a really motivational speech about sisterhood. I was surprised because she has been pretty lazy but losing this game really got to her when she realized this was her last season of soccer. Ever. She talked about being part of a collegiate team and how most girls will never get to experience something like this but how we have the chance to be part of something big. We get up before school every morning to come together, so we can win.
