This isn't the END!!

Hey IP FB girls,

Firstly, today's game was a mixture of everything - comedy, action, dedication which is quite impressive in a sense. It was good to see some people really do what they were expected to and not so good to see some blur on the field. Never mind today's game. Its nobody's fault we lost.

So now that we have decided not to compete in the competion, I'd just like to let you know that y'all have come a long way till now. The journey, for some of you, started not more than 6 months ago, and to me if i really see you way back what you were 6 months ago and what u are now 6 months later, is quite an achievement and I am happy that everyone has learnt something or the other. This was our last tournament we played before the EOY's and trust me, you are the winners for me, regardless of what the scoreboards have been (haven't been) saying all the while. I haven't really thought of a training programe for y'all after the EOY's but I'll come out with something and of course, with Yan as our coach I am sure, we'll be better than ever...

I know there are some important things we lack. Attitude tops the lists and is desperately trying to do a slap shot at me. Notice how the A-Div girls play when they train (There is nobody laughing in the middle of the field...and many other things). As we train more we'll get over these things and shoot all these things for once.

I didn't take the duty to coach you all because I was forced to or what, but because, it helped me understand my own mistakes better when I saw y'all commit them, and what my coach (be it the seniors or even Yan) would expect from me in these situations. I started Floorball as a complete noob in IP and I have been through all that, maybe, you all as individual players are going through now. Ya. We should be greatful to all the experience we have all concentrated in the small library called VJFB. From our seniors to the teachers.

Oh and ya, I know Mr. Chow is a fun-going person. But when he is telling anything, just give it a thought - it will always have some useful piece of information. I mean, at first even i dint agree with him when he wanted to play the 1-1-2 formation in one of the matches. But later after the match, i realised that there was a reason behind him trying to make you play like that and it was quite important, and it would have been a useful tactic to play against strong teams (like the one we played today). I really wanted to ask y'all play that formation, but guess it dint just work out properly.

It is quite evident that each and everyone of you has what it takes to be a floorballer, but a bit more hard work into some specific details can make you even better, which i m sure, is what you are aiming for. I can list down individual strengths (which, NOT to my surprise, are more than the weaknesses) but FLOORBALL is a team game, and one player's strength is the team's strength and one player's weakness is the team's weakness.

I have enjoyed each and every moment with y'all, and i hope y'all feel the same and will continue to do the same in the NEXT year to come.

Come on girls, lets get the blood rushing and the adrenaline pumping in us...
There is a lot more to come...

and this isnt the end,
its the just the beginning.

[Thnx YAN]
