as this day draws to a close, i want to thank God for keeping us in His grace and mercy. we have been tested and been found wanting. it is time for us to look back to the times we could have done more and been better, learn from those times and be better.
defeat is always bitter, no matter the circumstances. and we must learn from it and be better, or we will be defeated again.
this is a hard knock for RJ archery, especially for those in J2 now. the efforts, no matter how much/little, all seem wasted. but they are not. the journey, the friendship and even the competitions are all learning opportunities. if we have the eye and the heart to take in these hard lessons.
maybe i'm older and do not seem to be affected as much. but in fact i am very affected. i just did not let myself be seen to be. this shows something about the way i coached them. it's time to get serious.
this is the first time, i felt that the team deserved to lose. and i felt that the lost would be a better than a win. for a win will teach them nothing. many in the team are living in the clouds and do not put in real effort to ensure they do well. and they needed this lesson to hopefully, show them the real situation. that winners are not born into it. they fight for it.
the sad part is that, this pulls the rest of the team down. the rest of the team who trained like fevered russians and who fought like crazed monkies.
as a team they came. as a team they fought.
life is suffering. get used to it. live it. embrace it. fight it. love it. rise above it.
