It's Almost April?

Ugh, so I've been doing alot of panting recently. I should probably clarify that, what I mean is that it is lacrosse season and apparently I am as out of shape this year as I was last year. My coach is great though just a very supportive man here is a quick excerpt from a conversation we had in front of the whole team;
"Nick are you playing defense?" (Coach)
"I was considering it, why?"
"Well you can't really move your feet, and your stick skills are too good"
Now my interpretation is that he doesn't like me. Mainly because he started with the insult, and then added something quickly to try and counter the hurtful message that had just been delivered. Also because for the first few days he had no clue what my name was. I truly was "hey you." But overall I don't blame him. I can't take lacrosse seriously. I've tried but I always remember that it is lacrosse. For example, we were doing a drill and I dropped the ball over by the coaches. I proceeded to bow and pick up the ball saying 14-15 "excuse me"s to 3 coaches.
For my next anecdote I need to explain that I'm slow. Plain and simple slow. Actually some one asked me today if I was new to the activity of running. (In my defense I have not ran the fastest I can all season because again it is lacrosse). So today we were doing this drill where basically the big kids hit the little kids and everyone laughs. But anywho we were on the line and the ball went out so I did what anyone would do I turned on the jets (more like the propellers on those little beanie hats....ya not much power) The kid who actually got the ball was much faster and I proceeded to chase after him (technically I was chasing him even if I was gaining no ground and it looked like I was running backwards) screaming "I'm gunna catch him I'm gunna catch him" because as always that whole say it till its true plan was working so well. The coach saw me and then rolled his eyes at me.
So basically I learned I need to run faster. But this is was and will be, My Life in Words.
