Two big games today and enough mistakes for two losses.
I had a lot of confidence going into these games. It bordered on a hubris that caught me missing a simple ball and being out of position at least once. Both mistakes led to goals.
It’s hard for me to balance those slips against a lot of solid play. The solid play didn’t translate into wins and the slips became losses.
Playoffs are ahead, a new season is always on the horizon, and I’m gaining an appreciation for losing as I increase my jiu-jitsu training.
I’m healthy and I faced the losses with grace. I’m blessed with these things. I’m blessed with wonderful teammates and a supportive soccer community.
Losing is learning. I learned plenty today.
