First Post!

First Post! 06/05/2010

I’ve been asked to contribute a Presidents blog, so here we go. My thoughts now turn to what my first ever blog could have as a subject. There we are, why not use the subject “Firsts”. On a day when our seniors got their “first” win of the season, this subject is quite topical. How important is that “first” win, when ultimately we could win another 10 or 12 or more this season. The first win is the most important, as it now provides a massive confidence boost for the players and relieves pressure on the team as a whole. Players can relax and enjoy their game as the season progresses, no more searching and being shackled by the pressure of getting that first win.

Of course the first win is important to the team and the club, however individuals also feel the importance of individual firsts. Today we saw two Under 16’s getting their first taste of seniors football. A day which hopefully they’ll remember as special, as the day they pulled on their first seniors shirt. Two players scored their first goals for the club, the new reserves coach took charge of the reserves for the first time, we managed to score our first penalty of the season after three attempts.

So all those firsts help release the tension, anticipation, pressure and build confidence. They also set the bench mark of what can be achieved, so there we go. My first blog, over and done.
