game against Markham

August 14th we played against Markham. this game was important because we’ve never beaten Markham and this was our last game against Markham with our incredible and amazing coach Marc. we held about 70% of the possession in the first half. unfortunately one of our players gave a PK to the other team but it happens to everyone. other than the PK the second half was an even game. both teams didn’t have any big threats. personally, I’ve played way better. I was slow to check my shoulder so a couple times the defender was able to get the ball from me, I had a couple bad touches which led to a change of possession, and finally I didn’t get turned out to go 1v1 a lot. now I’m ready to play Burlington and play my best.

Duke ID camp

Duke ID camp

Thursday July 21st I’m on my way to duke for an ID camp. I’ll be at duke for 3 nights. This is my first time going to an ID camp alone but I’m very excited. Rebecca Quinn who is now on the women’s national team and used to play at my club goes to duke right now. Getting a hold of her was quite difficult considering the crazy schedule she has now because of rio coming up just around the corner. All I know is that I’m going to get the most out of this camp and I just can’t wait to be there.

Unionville game

On July 10th we played against Unionville. It was an early game which I do not prefer. The game started off very slow. Personally I thought this was my worst game of the season. I was slow to the ball, making lots of mistakes and just overall I was not on my game. I still don’t quite know the reasoning behind why I was playing so horribly but I reflected back on my game trying to figure out the gaps in my games, and how I can fix them. I know that everybody has bad games but I’m the type of player to be extra critical on my performance because I want to make sure I’m the best I can possibly be.

Game against Ottawa south United

Today we played against Ottawa south United. I had missed 3/5 practices in that week because I was at ofsaa so therefore I didn’t start the game. About 20 mins into the first half I come on to the field. Right off the bat I was really energetic and beating all the players. The team was very direct and they played a total different style of game then we do. It took us a while to adapt to their very direct game. It ended up being 0-0 but it should have been 1-0 or 2-0 for us.

Owsl league 1

I played in my second owsl game. I only played 30 mins because I had a opdl game the next day so I didn’t want to be too tired. About 15 mins into me getting on the field, I scored. I did a move around the goalie and tapped it in. It was my first goal in a while and it’s pretty amazing that it was against a league1 team. I can’t wait to play more games in the owsl league.

2nd showcase game

Today was the second game of the umbro showcase. We played Hamilton who we a very good technical team. I really enjoyed this game because it was more of a challenge other than the game we had yesterday. We have one more game on Monday and I can’t wait to play!!
