𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞

I witnessed something unique at the football club I work for this past week, which I want to share. Yes, if you do not know let me remind you, I work for a football club known as Watchtower FA, as their Mental Therapists, Sociologist, and Psychologist of Sports. Since the season started we are still unbeaten all thanks to God and also the shared cooperation of everyone on board a team effort.

We played two games in three days, the first was at our home tuff and the other was at a neutral ground. The game at our home tuff started wrongly as in less than 25 minutes we were 2 goals down and not been able to execute our game plan and truth be told I wasn't worried about the score line at that moment.

At the tail end of the first half, just a substitute changed the game even before the end of the game and gradually we began to find our footing and execute our game plan. The pressure we mounted on our opponents resulted in us winning two penalties and also drawing the game which ended 2:2.

Now lessons from the game:

😃 How you start does not matter but what is important is how you keep going and sustain your growth. You know it is not the first person who takes off on the track and field that wins the race.

😃 Grow into the game of life and don't just give up at a little disappointment or initial rushing of your opponents.

😃 Do not go into life without a plan and goal. Your goals must be S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reliable and Time-Bound). So when things are not going as planned just stay focused and gradually fine-tune your goals.

😃 Do not beat yourself up at a little disappointment but fine-tune your plan to fit into the goal and targets that you have for yourself.

😃 Life is a game and in this game of life, you win some, lose some, and draw some so do not insist that it is a must for you to win all the games of life.

😃 In the game of life, find a balance while the game is ongoing. Just as my football club needed a few minutes to settle into the game, give yourself a few minutes to settle into the game and as you grow in the game fine tune your pattern and stay focused on your goal.

😃 In life take off every form of pressure from you and put it on what is at hand. Just the way that my club had to take off the pressure of being 2 goals down to our opponent which made us draw the game. Don't give room for pressure to dwell and surround you.

😃 Give your best in the journey of life running with this in mind WHERE EXCELLENCE IS ACHIEVABLE AND ATTAINABLE, VERY GOOD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Watchtower FA is still unbeaten this season and second on the Elite League Table. This is the kind of result you get when you put God first and have a Sports Psychologist and Sociologist in your team or part of your coaching crew.

If you are still doubting the impact of a Sports Sociologist and Psychologist in your team life career or circle then you are missing a lot.

Also, my club won the second game that we played last week which means we qualified for the next stage of the Coaches Cup Tournament.

Thank you, geopolitical zone members.
