#LO2 and 5

It’s season two and I decided to sign up to play touch! I’m really nervous because I haven’t played it before and I also lack coordination skills but after having tried it for a while in pre season I wanted to continue because it seemed fun and I wanted to push myself to try something new. The A team for touch look so skilled and I really admire their dedication and the closeness that they have between them so I was hoping that I could get something similar out of my touch experience.  Of course when it came to the tryouts I was really scared because I didn’t even know what the rules were or what the different positions were. Luckily in touch everyone makes a team and I was quite happy when I found out who was on my team because they seemed like a group of very fun and nice people. So we began training and I started playing wing (partly because I have some speed and partly because I didn’t have enough knowledge of the game to play other positions). My team and coach were really supportive and patient, even when I didn’t understand what to do or if I messed up which made me motivated to continue.

As a team we had to work together to learn our different playing styles and see what worked for us and what didn’t. There were times where working together was quite easy and other times where it was a bit more difficult. Although one of our best games was won 10-1 because we had really good communication. However sometimes as a team we were not as committed as we could have been which meant that we didn’t play as well as we maybe could have at times.
