So What Can I Say?

Lesson #01: Don't you ever take Wall posts on Facebook nonchalantly.
Cuz that's how this particular friendly kicked off.

Lesson #02: Friendlies're much more than just coming together and playing.
Yeah, loads of legal, logistic, leadership and locale issues to settle. Still it's good work, cuz at the end of the day you just step back and can't help but marvel at the results.

Lesson #03: Technology always helps.
I can't imagine how this friendly would've happened if not for Alexander Graham Bell and (I forgot) whoever created the Internet. Thank you all.

Lesson #04: Of inspirational speeches.
Ah yes. Mikey's favourite topic.
Get your team pumped, brainwash them!
After all mental's real important.
"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or in whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." - 1 Cor 10:31
So, that's it! Play floorball for none other than God's glory, have fun in between, give it all you've got.



Lesson #05: Winning isn't everything.
The main dish is playing your best. Winning's an extra. Like, buy 1 free 1, y'know.



Lesson #06: Support is very much appreciated.
Firstly, A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU TO ALL FIREBRANDS (and G12 too!) SUPPORTERS, whether you're from fireBRANDS, Frontliners, Ztec... thankyouforcoming!
Right, but not only that support, but from all the players who agreed to play, and who came for the trainings, and who turned up to tire themselves out during the friendly.
Yes, I know I probably put you girls (and two boys) up against markedly tougher opponents, but the exposure was good. You don't lose much but you definitely learn a lot.



Lesson #07: Listen to your coach, stand-in or not.
Yup. Coaches are usually older, and with old age comes much wisdom. It helps.
And to put this lesson into practice, listen to this bit:
"..But they did do a good job although they didn't really know the rules and some of them came in only few weeks before this thingy. It was all pretty good I guess." - Coach James.



Lesson #08: It's consolation, but it's still a prize.
That brings us to my favourite match (which is obviously the one we won. yes i kiasu.).
The first goal definitely sparked something, and I knew it'd be like really mensiasuikan if we lost all our matches.
I thought only of clinging on to the lead and hopefully surviving through G12's pace (Charmaine's, most glaringly obvious. She definitely rocks at this sport.).
But. Opportunity came, and I snatched it. It was the first time I'd run for the ball directly after a face-off.
Then I remembered Kuan Yang's words of wisdom: Try taking shots from your backhand.
It totally worked :)

Lesson #09: Floorball gets us new friends.
Yup yup! Close friend, Von!



Lesson #10: Come back with a vengeance: come for training.
The momentum's definitely there.
Rallying 8 girls for the friendly was definitely well worth it.
Firebrands FC definitely has its unexpected growth spurts: this is one of them.
So yeah, keep the (floor)ball rolling!
And soon we'll be the top girls' club in Penang.
