Have you ever had someone want you to fail?
Have you ever had someone do everything they could to make you give up ?
If you have ever seen the movie miracle on ice, you probably remember the scene where the coach continues to send his players down the ice doing sprint and sprint. Well that's basically what my practice looked tonight haha. Yesterday we lost our game 5-0. And honestly I played like crap as did many of my teammates. And as punishment my coach felt the need to make us run 100 yards ladders stopping at every 5 yards, a North Carolina, and many other drills. And one of his motivates of to see if anyone would quite. And honestly I was thinking about. That's something that I have only ever wants thought about in my whole time playing soccer. But I didn't. I did not want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he beat me. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and push through the pain. Not everyone in the world is going to be rooting for you. In fact many people will be rooting against you, hoping at any given moment that you will make a mistake. This reminded me of Kelly Clarkson's most recent song "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", and I think the song explains it perfectly. Never let anyone stand in your way of getting to what you want, not even yourself. The people that take each negative comment and turn it into something fuels them to be better are the people that are going to succeed in life. And I want to be someone that everyone looks up to and someone who stands out among the crowd.
