Revive

I am in horrible condition, as you may or may not know. My physical potential should be hitting its peak within the next few years, but I am in the worst shape in my life. As a kid, you never get tired, and as you grow older, even though your ability and potential expands, I'm not taking advantage of it and that is why my fitness level is so noob.

However, despite this "run for two seconds, rest for 2 minutes" business, I have been lucky enough to play some soccer over the past month, again. I haven't played for over a year, so there is guaranteed to be rust in my abilities. But, because I've been able to play again, it's been a blast and I haven't had this much fun in a very long time. Today was a day where I felt much better out there on the field (except for my lack of physical fitness). I am slowly regaining my ability to control the ball and the play and it feels so awesome. I haven't quite gotten my quick decision making and shot back yet, but reading the play and all that other business is pretty good.

Not having played soccer in such a long time has kind of killed the sport for me, but now I am reviving that love for soccer that has been lost inside of me. Soccer has been, and always will be, my favorite sport to play. Don't get me wrong, I love hockey as much as the next person, but soccer is the sport I would much rather participate in. As I live in Canada, I don't get much exposure to professional soccer leagues, so I follow hockey as closely as I can, but I choose to play soccer over hockey, almost any day.

Can't wait to play next week, maybe I'll get a bit of my touch back =D
