Your Lack of Presence

For the love of God people... SHOW UP FOR PRACTICE!

We had three of six summit guys again. This is starting to aggravate me because we are NO where close to where we need to be. We need to practice and we can't do it if half the frickin team is missing!

If you DO decide that this is a worth cause, I ask that you actually give it a little effort. The next person I see lying on the floor instead of doing push ups will get a kick in the side. If you are a girl, I will have Arielle do it. If I see you lying down DURING TUG, I will do the same. I am sick of this half hearted "go through it once and take a break" crap. I'll be damned before I allow someone who gave no effort play on this team, that is unfair to the rest of us who actually want to play and want to be better.

If athletics aren't really your thing and you keep messing up, but are actually trying, that's one thing. But if you are giving it very little effort because you think you are good enough as you are, you need to wake up. None of us are as good as we are. I need to work on my agility, Ben needs to work on his strength, Andy needs to work on endurance, Jeff needs to work on technique... EVERYONE NEEDS TO IMPROVE! Myself included! If people don't actually roll up their sleeves and start putting some effort into their workouts and getting better at these games, then why the hell are we even competing? It's a frickin disgrace! Do everything as if to the LORD and not to men. Is this how you would practice if you were doing it for God? I hope not! If He told you to go out and do your best in the competition, would you practice like this? NO!!!! There is a reason practice is harder than the game. When we get to the game, it will be a no brainer! For those of you who won the last two local competitions let me remind you that you had people like Michael and Daniel to fall back on both years. This year, you don't. YOU actually need to step up and be a player and start practicing like you WANT to win.

If we don't win, it's fine, at least we tried hard. If we don't win because half of my team gave a little half-crap effort in practice, THAT is a problem and you will be hearing about it.

I'm dead serious... One more person decides that he/she doesn't need to practice, and he/she will find my/arielle's foot in their ribcage.
