somebody really weird once told me 'motivation gets you started, results keep you going' then i wondered.. we don't have results. so what keeps us going? but i guess the answer has been there all along. determination and perseverance. since when have we not been training? since when have we pon trainings cause we were to tired or we had other things to attend to? other things could always wait, trngs were always first on our priorities list. if so, there is absolutely no reason why we all cannot play properly neither is there any excuse to not give our best. strong opponents is not an excuse its just a sign of weakness on our part. bias referee is not an excuse either its just another reason to cover up our poor attitude towards the game. our match today was a chance for us to get familiar weaknesses and further improve on our strengths. so what if we lost? we lost with pride and dignity because we didn't give up. so what if we had many miss pass? it doesn't lead to the end of the world, we just have to learn how to pick ourselves up again. so what if we didn't score the ball? nobody can shoot all their balls in, the most important thing is that we tried.
i know we did badly, but not all is lost.. we still have a second chance to win everything back. and I'm sure we'll be able to do it. so fellow teammates, don't give up so soon. trust in yourself and jiaolian. just because we lost one match doesn't mean we can't own the other matches. :D cheer up you people! :D we'll fight back every score we lost today on the following matches, no matter what it takes.
Joline:
we are a team there is no such thing as YOU cause everybody to lose. its a TEAM game. nobody can cause the team to lose. if its anybody fault, it our whole team fault. so its not your fault.. if you're feeling really bad then pick your standard back again :D you didn't play badly, you're just putting too much pressure on yourself.. i know what JL says can be very confusing at times. but you have to remember, the ball is in your hands and you are the one playing on the court, not JL. so ultimately, the decision is yours. sometimes JL can be wrong too.. because he is not the one playing so it seems easier for him to say but actually pretty hard to do. don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself, just play YOUR game and follow YOUR instincts. and instead of apologising, save the energy to win back what you've lost today on our upcoming matches. cheer up ok? i have confidence in you :D
