So this weekend has been a good weekend for Brunel Hockey, with the results showing just how dominant we were. A 9-2 win yesterday, followed by a 7-0 win today in mixed hockey (and with Newcastle United also getting a win against QPR 1-0) topped off a great sporting weekend for the club. Yet on a personal note, I had a win. A big win. Throughout the season I have tried on numerous occasions (and failed on all) to score a goal on my reverse. It is fair to say it was becoming somewhat of an on-running joke between myself and some of the other members of the team. I could have stopped and given up. Accepted that it was a skill I would never acquire. But training hard at this skill, and really focusing on how I hit the ball payed off. Today I scored not one, but 2 on my reverse. Now, I will be the first to admit that the 1st goal was a keeping mistake, and should have been saved, comfortably. But I did what any 'striker' should do. I hit the target, and was rewarded with a goal! The second however was well hit, beating the keeper on his near post, and it felt good!

I guess what I'm trying to say is don't let others set your limitations. If you want to change something, then actively do something about it! Only you have the power to say what you can or can't achieve...
