Not really sure what to write here, but this seemed like the only place I could post a thread :O
I guess I'll say a little about me for those that don't really care
From my first season in under 9's to I think under 13-14's, I won three best and fairests for my club and the coleman medal every season for the whole MSJFL competition for four years playing rover. This was an extremely fun time for me when everything was going great for me. At such a young age, I could kick 45+ metres accurately on my left and right boot, rarely missed a goal, possessed pretty good skills everywhere except for marking ... I was pretty small.
Now I'm 16 going on 17, and since then it's been a train wreck. When I hit middle school, I snapped my quad muscle in state athletics running 100M sprint and lost all my confidence. From that day, for like the past four years, I've played about 10 games only playing one proper season and just not playing school footy because everyone made remarks like 'you were so good' blabla, and now you suck. Really gets to you honestly.
Never the less, with about two years, I still think I could have a chance of making my AFL dreams come true. As I'm going into Year 11 in 2 days, I will be meaning to start footy again but I'll probably relax in the b's this season just to get some confidence up; in my spare time, train like absolutely ****ing crazy hitting the gym, getting as fit as possible and try and get left/right foot kicking accuracy as precise as it was when I was so young.
l feel like I can do it. I go for Hawthorn too
