I finally made it out to my school's twice weekly futsal group, and I saw a few familiar faces from Jahan's old league, including Victor, the Brazilian with appropriate footwork that remembered my name quicker than I his (and I'm pretty decent with names). I ended up marking him for quite a while, and he's still good, but I've definitely improved compared to this time last year in all aspects.
With the small ball, it seemed easy to do tricks and such, and I ended up with five or six goals and around ten assists over the two hour game. There were other highlights, of course (like nutmegging some pretty decent guy) and all in all, it was good fun and a good challenge. In particular, it was physically demanding; I'm exhausted now, though that could also be due to waking up at seven A.M. for the first time in months.
It's definitely something I'm going to try to get to every chance possible, if it wasn't second division ball, practicing, and a high number of games that made me better, it was Jahan's league and teams. Most days, I expect it to be only a few people, but we'll see. Even if there aren't many people, it'll still be good competition and great training.
I also have a strength training routine planned out, and I should begin that soon as well; most likely Friday. The rest of my week is filled with physical activity.
