    rang throughout my body, and thoughts of failure creeped their way into my mind. Then when the ball finally found its way out-of-bounds, and I subbed in those thoughts faded away. As soon as my feet land within the the field of play I was in the thick of the action. I was running so extensively that I had to remind myself to breath. Running to defend then transitioning to offense my legs began to burn, undoubtedly from them not being active the last three games, but the moment I touch the ball the
