SOCCER BABY...
The vision of a champion is someone who
is bent over, drenched in sweat,
and at the point of exhaustion
when no one else is watching.

you don't just play a sport... you breathe, think, and live a sport. you step on the fields with determination and you leave it with nothing left. you don't just play a sport... you honor it. you honor the rules, your opponent, and your team because without them you have nothin... you are nothing. within my sport i have defined myself... i have established my reputation and that's all i need to be content in this world.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us;
it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
so after that game, i started thinking. mostly about what the hell has happened to us. we used to win games with heart, because we didnt have the skill. now, with the skills we have, and our ability to play together, you would think that we would be better than third. but somewhere along the way, we lost our passion, our drive. i know its just indoor, and im guilty of not giving a crap. but im fucking sick of half assing it. im sick of tieing, im sick of losing. im sick of not giving a damn, i miss the happy feeling i get when i play. what happened to us? but now at least i give a shit. i havent been giving my best to you guys. and for that i am truly sorry. i let you down, i let myself down. i promise everytime i step on the pitch its all or nothing. lets pick this up. i believe in this team, i love this team. i know were better than this. we have played beautiful soccer, and quite frankly the kick and chase teams should not be tieing us. if we want to make a statment now is the time. so lets go. we owe it to erin and nin, we owe it to eachother and we owe it to ourselves. we are the shit. so lets go out there and prove it.
united we stand.
