so we just lost in soccer to our rival in the states game. im the goalie. and i played terrible. i had the worst game of my entire season, if not career. i couldnt get a save for the life of me. the game ended up going into overtime and we lost by one. there were so many people at the game, literally like 200, and they all pretty much know me well. I not only feel like a failure, but i let myself, my coaches and my team down. its been about 3 days since the game and i still have this terrible pit feeling in my stomach. to make it worst, the school that was scouting me for college was there. i feel so ashamed. idk. i had been having such an amazing season so far! i had stepped up so strong in so many games. it sucks that this was the last. idk...if anyone has any advice to give that will make me feel better i could really use it. i love soccer, but right now i cant even bear the thought to play right now. my heart sinks everytime i think about it. just please....i need some advice.
Additional info, added Friday May 21 2010, 6:16 am: And the other part that sucks terribly is that the goalie on the other team is like my old rival from middle school and he had a pretty good game. So it makes me feel ten times worse. I feel like everyone is like making fun of me and thinks I suck. In reality I really don't. I'm actually really good at soccer, I just didn't show up for this one game. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Sports? Yellow answered Friday February 11 2011, 4:21 pm: Wow. That really sucks. I feel your pain. I play soccer too and,last season, for the first time, my coach put me in as the back defender. We lost the game and I felt like I was the reason we lost and I ended up sobbing in the car, on the ride home. I felt like I let everyone down. But, anyways, it sometimes is rlly hard not to beat yourself up when you feel like you didn't do well and when you feel like you let everyone down. But, everyone has those days when they just can't play as well as they usually do. But you have to realize and accept that life goes on. You can either dwell in the past and let it hold you back, or you can move on and you can try to leave the past behind. Being the goalkeeper is a position that can be stressful at times. But, it's time to forget about the past. It's time to live in the moment! [ Yellow's advice column | Ask Yellow A Question ]
