So yeah, there's finally going to be a senior badminton team this year and yes, I tried out. I made such a fool out of myself... lost to some of the players I use to be able to beat. It was so depressing. I want to make it onto the team, but I don't know what went wrong after school on Thursday. I wasn't trying my best; and to tell the truth, I was in pain.
I haven't done sports in 2 years. I'm quite rusty. The first tryout was on Monday, so I went to that. Nobody expected it to be on Monday. so basically nobody was ready. On Tuesday was the second tryout. I was in jeans, doesn't give too much movement ya know? On Thursday was the last tryout. I finally got my shorts and my new racquet. I was already in so much pain. I couldn't walk up the stairs. I played a total of 5 games and lost 3 of them.
I'm pretty much praying that either there will be another Badminton tryout, or I'm going to make it onto the Badminton team. Hopefully Ms. Huff will remember that I made it into the regionals in grade 10 and give me a shot at the team again this year. I know I'm a bit rusty, but with a bit more practice, I'm sure I can do it. It's quite unfair to tell the truth. They had a Badminton team last year, seniors (11s and 12s) didn't, so the seniors was pretty much forced not to improve (except for the ones in who are in like a Badminton club or whatever). If Ms. Huff is going to choose four grade 12's and four grade 11's, then I have a pretty good chance of making it onto the team; but if she just chooses the best ones... I'm really doubting myself.
Ms. Huff said I could be the Manager of the team if I don't make it in. Hopefully the Manager gets to play. At times, I don't even really know if I want to be on the Badminton team. Don't get me wrong, I love badminton. But to play it for the school seems to be a lot of pressure on you, ya know? If I'm the Manager, I wouldn't have to play it competitively. But I just don't want people talking behind my back saying how I'm just the manager because I didn't make it onto the team.
*Sigh* Wish me good luck...
