Long break, back at it

It's been awhile.  Haven't stopped playing.  Outdoor season in just past mid point and unfortunately we are sub .500 but we are on the turn.  A change in formation and finding the right chemistry will get us back on track.  We've gifted two teams with OG victory goals.  Unfortunate but not damning.  It is ironic that having too many subs is more challenging than not having enough.  The halves are short and subbing interrupts the flow of the game.  I believe we will find our footing and finish the season strong.  Better to work out what isn't working in the regular season and put it together in the playoffs.

Just started 2nd full season of indoor.  The players are mostly the same as last season but the chemistry is much better.  Everyone seems less pissed off when we get scored on or don't connect on a pass or shot.  Yes, we concede goals - typically early (if not first) BUT we KEEP playing.  Missed shot - that's ok, have another or look for the pass.  We had a come from behind win tonight 11-7 that we didn't lead until the late in the second.  Also, several different people scored.  We passed to the open player with a better scoring oppty and, we COMMUNICATED.

That is the fantastically simple yet incredibly illusive component that will turn teams around or lack of it will cause talented teams to crash and burn.  Some don't like to yell on the pitch and sometimes (when done in anger) it doesn't help.  But, taking a second to mention what is working or asking for what someone else sees will improve play far better than raw talent and no communication.

So, talk and play on...
