in Connecticut
June 22nd, 2002
The field is coated with purple and green shirts
I take the ball and pass it
Amanda runs with it and tests her shot
Endurance
She lines it up and..
WHAM!, it hits the goal post but misses
We cheer her on anyway
Good sports man ship
We line up again, this time I get the ball
Dribble past the defenders fake to the left, to the right
BLAM!, I slam it past the goalie into the net
Skills
My teamates cheer me on
Slapping me hand
Jumping all over me
Friends
We ling up again, they kick, right to me
I stick my thigh out, SLAM! right to hip
But I'm okay so I keep running
Thoughness
I steal the ball, and dribble down the field
I fake past a defender and pass to Felica, she takes it and runs
She trys to score but it is just shy of the net
Adrenaline
Finally, goal kick, they have it
Kick the ball, right to me I take it up field
Power Kick it and....BLAM! Another goal.
Confidence
The whistle sounds
It's 2-0 us
We win!
Pleasure
