Week 1 - The Start

13/09/12

The football season at school properly started today and I was putin a team with pupils from a variety of year groups. Unfortunately, our goalkeeper didn't make an appearance so we had to take turns in goal. I scored atotal of 6 or 7 goals and made some assists. I think this week I was more braveto go up and help the attackers which is why we won most of our games since weattacked and defended as a team efficiently. We set a man-mark in order to keepthe attackers at bay. We passed the ball around well and got on well as a teamwhilst other teams had some arguments. I think that our team will do well alongthe season since we have the mentality of a team and we play well as one aswell. Personally, I think I should have communicated a bit better, e.g. to callfor the ball or tell someone to mark one of the attackers, I was a bit toosilent and I think that is why we let some goals in; because of a lack ofcommunication between us. My fitness level was better than last week so I wasable to endure the matches better. Next week, I will start being more active incommunicating with my team mates in order to know what is happening around usand so we can be more effective defensively and offensively.
