My Stats For the Past Week

In the past week, I've had some great and some not so great times in the sports arena.

First of all, soccer. My teams were 2-1 this week, with one big win, one close win, and one bad loss. I had a single goal in the first game, two goals in the second game, and a single goal in the third game. I will say that there were a few near misses. A few that just missed the post or hit the post. There were also a few other near misses, as in, nearly missing the ball entirely. I have heart. Unfortunately, you play soccer with your feet, not with your heart. And my feet just don't do what I tell them to sometimes. I feel like I am beginning to understand the flow and strategy of the game, but I have yet to find the skill to implement the great ideas I have. Because of that, I think my turnover to assist ratio is a little off at the moment. But despite my short comings, I continue to give it a 110%

Basketball was a different story this week. I was wore out! For some reason last week, I just did not sleep good. Every day last week I was either up late, waking up early, or both. Come Saturday morning, I had nothing left in the tank and it showed. I'm usually about a 75-80% shooter from the 15-20 foot range, but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn this week. We played three "halves" and the first and third halves I was ice cold. I did hit a streak in the second half and saved my stats and got our team back in the game momentarily. But in the end, it was just too much. Not enough sleep on my part, good ball movement and hustle on the other team's part, and a lack of defense and conditioning on my team's part proved to be too much to overcome. In the end, despite having a one man advantage, we lost.

In other news, I was 5-1 in backgammon last week and undefeated (3-0) on XBox football on my last trip to the V house.

And since I've been talking sports for the whole post, I thought I'd include something for the ladies. Here's looking at you Lane Marie.
