Birdz Flyin High

We’re entering into one of the best months of the year, in my opinion. Next to February (my birthday month) and December (duh, Christmas), October is such a great month. There are beautiful colors all around. The weather is just perfect; just chilly enough for a jacket, but no need for pants. The most candy-intensive holiday ends it. And most of all, it is the very best time to play soccer.

We’re 10-1 (How flipping awesome!) entering the final month of regular season. Each game is getting more and more important to win. As a senior, I’m beginning to realize this could be the last time I will play some of these teams….ever. And as usual, there’s a pride factor; I can’t leave my last impression with a loss/tie. It’s gotta be a WIN! As a member of this incredible team, I’m focused on finding ways to win games. That’s what good teams do in October. They find ways to finish their schedule in a way that will put them in the best position. If we just keep playing well and finishing games on top, we’ll be in good position.

I get so excited seeing this team and its potential, and I have to calm myself down all the time to refocus and understand this season is a marathon. Each game is as equally important as the last and the next one. Plus, I swear half of my team doesn’t even understand how well we’re doing or what it means for us later. I think that helps us. We’re just a group of girls going out there to play some high quality soccer so we can be fed afterwards! But seriously….what’s for dinner later?
