I've ended a tiny cold streak recently, yesterday and (some of) today I wasn't playing very well. Granted, I scored about 6 in the last couple days, but for the most part, the only thing that's been on has been my volleying. I've been hitting (with both feet) the back of the net consistently with them.
In spite of a slow start at the University Club (in particular my passing and control), I was picked third overall today when we had a schoolyard-style draft. I suppose it's my work rate that got me there, or maybe the couple lovely goals I had. The one that sticks out in particular was the control of a ball in air, and a hard volley into the top-left corner with my left foot on the second touch. After my passing and touch came back a bit, I felt much better about the game.
Yesterday, the Chillies game was a disaster (for me). Weak opposition, tons of chances, only two goals when I could've have five. My two goals (in the 6-1 win, their 1 was my fault, mostly) were two volleyed one-timers from one-twos, both coming when the opposition played with a man down due to a girl going absolutely savage on one of our own. Hair was pulled and everything.
Tonight, a game with the Red Dogs, that men's team that I'm helping out in the playoff push. Who knows, with some of the circus shots I've had recently, another first-half hat trick may be in the cards.
