Indoor Soccer Week 2

This week we worked on positioning. And while we lost, we played alot better. I know I'm improving as a goalkeeper. I still have those moments where I don't know if I should engage or allow the defender to take the ball.

This was a tough week too for attendees. We had alot of absences: Rob, Matt, Hugh, Tonya, Eliza, though she made it right before game time. That's almost half the team. So we called in a few favors and ended up with Brandon and Jen from my former No F In Talent team. I had forgotten how good they are and they showed it. They definitely boosted the talent level on the team.

However everyone had a good game, especially Steve and Adrian. These two were so close to getting the goals. Steve had some creative shots and some creative passes. He's stepped up in winger and defender.
Adrian has improved his ball handling and it showed. He is starting to move through people, something that I haven't seen from him. I'm was getting impressed by him.

I think as people learn the system they will get into better position. I know 2 people who didn't completely understand the system. I think they stayed back too far, especially when the action is on the other end. I'll have to work with them and try to get them to realize that they can provide more support if they are in position.

All in all, I think everyone got a good workout in. No one loves losing, but people are having fun and stepping up and out of their comfort zone and it is improving their game.

On to Week 3!
