Action - Football

This week was a bit weird, in terms of football. The first thing i think i should mention is that my school-workload has become a bit overbearing since the end of last week, and i've been finding it a bit hard to cope. And of course this lead me to a few decisions that i have been thinking about for some time; that i've also mentioned before in a previous blog post. Basically, to put it super simply for whoever is reading this, i quit the football team. The first league game of the season is on monday, and there is a huge tournament at my school today. But i have told my coach that i do not feel like i have the time to compete anymore. And for me school work always always ALWAYS comes first. So i guess that's my decision.

I don't think my coach is too happy. I mean, at the beginning of the year we all tried out knowing that we were making a big commitment, and i've just sort of broken that agreement that i would stay with the team until the end. I think he understands, but he's definitely no where near happy. Another thing is that yesterday was my birthday. Yeah, i'm 17 now! Young, i know, but whatever i'm happy, because i'm slowly getting to adulthood. But my birthday was a friday, i went out, and there's a tournament at school today. I think my coach expected me to come at least to the tournament today as it was a bit late for a replacement to be found, but i was out late, and to be honest, i didn't really ever intend to go. Tonight's my party, so i need to go and get ready, but hopefully my team mates won't be too disappointed with me; hopefully they will understand. And if not, oh well, nothing i can do - i still stick by my decision.
