Yapping

 三ツ國涼央(1年/FW/天王寺高校)

Hi, I'm Leon Mitsukuni. There isn't much I wanna write about, but I'll start off with why I decided to join this football club. The reason is quite simple. I just wanted to enjoy playing football and get better at it, so this was the perfect place to do that. I had a look at Speranza as well but didn't really like it. I say "perfect," but it's not quite perfect. There are a few things that annoy me. Not having enough time to rest is one of them. Having only one day off a week is not enough for me. My legs get more fatigued every week, and this is not helping me at all. Maybe I need to massage or stretch my legs after training or something, but how tf am I supposed to know what to do? No one has ever told me what I should do to help my body recover quickly. I'm sure others have had the same problem, so something's gotta change. And I'd love to have the freedom to miss practice for a week or two and travell abroad or go snowboarding, cuz playing football isn't the only thing I wanna do and having a week off during summer and a month off in December isn't enough. I've got classes in December, so I can't do anything anyway. I really want the summer holiday to be longer so I can hang out with my friends more. 

 

Another thing I wanna share with you is what I went through when I was injured. As you may know, I injured my left knee within a week after joining this football club. It was caused by an overextention of my leg during training, and I was out for 6 weeks. I was obviously frustrated cuz I couldn't play football, but more so cuz I would lose all my fitness. I guess I wasn't pissed about not being able to play football cuz I wasn't crazy about football, and I was okay with just watching everyone else play whilst I was doing some boring exercises on the sidelines. However, I was worried that I was gonna fall behind and have a tough time catching up after recovering from my injury. And this is exactly what happened. I wasn't very good to start with and I didn't know what to do or where to be on the pitch, making mistakes and being yelled at by my teammates all the bloody time. It was really hard for me, and I felt unwanted, but I kept trying and I'm doing alright now. However, it still annoys me when my teammates just yell at me when I make a mistake. Instead of yelling at me, why don't you guys tell me what I'm doing wrong? Yelling isn't gonna help. It's just gonna make me feel crap, and I'm just gonna do the same thing again. It's much better for the team if you put your anger aside and give each other advice. 

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading. Writing this was an absolute pain in the arse, and hope you've learnt something about me. I've really enjoyed playing football here, and I wanna continue to improve and make it into the first team.
