2010 held fond memories for many of us who are Ztec. The ups and downs, the tears, the sweat, and the blood shed. We were taught many lessons, given many opportunities and made to be better and stronger both as individuals and as a team. Many now are unclear as to where 2011 will lead us. There are changes already starting to happen in the team. Frankly, it is true when people say, change is scary, why do we need change? Can't we stay the same and do what we were already doing? Everything was good just the way it was, can we just NOT change anything? The answer to that, yes we can. But NO we won't.
Things were good, no doubt, but we as Ztec want to bring the best out of our team. We as Ztec want to see our players, grow not only in their game, but also as a whole, as an individual. Many think that Ztec is yet another "Floorball Club", I say to you today, that is NOT what Ztec is!! Ztec is YOU! Ztec is a family. We need to bring that back. No matter what background we're from, who we are, what conflict there is, IT DOESN'T MATTER! When you come onto that court amongst your fellow teammates, there you are in the midst of family. And family ALWAYS can be counted on. At one point in time, Ztec was at its prime, many of you who have been with us would know what I am talking about. There was a time that training never felt like training, it was more of a fellowship, a gathering of people, doing that which they loved doing.
What made Ztec so great? How did we achieve what we achieved? It wasn't on individual skills. Though that is important, it is NOT everything. You want to know the secret to Ztec's success? Here it is. Ztec succeeded because we played as ONE. Nothing more to it than that. Its really simple actually. We played as one and we had fun. There was a sense of intensity and motivation in the air. You could literally feel the adrenaline rushing out from its players. You can literally feel the Ztec Spirit flowing from the hearts of its members. And I dont just mean during a competition, no, I mean even during training sessions. And fellow members of Ztec, there's only one thing we want to make clear to you today. 2011, we ARE reigniting that flame. We are bringing that fire back. THE SPIRIT OF ZTEC SHALL LIVE ON ONCE AGAIN!!
After much deliberation, the coaches have selected a new name for Ztec. 2011 is a year of change, a year of new beginnings. And we, Ztec, begin this year with a whole new identity, a whole new image.
- The Juggernaut is said to be a large, overpowering destructive force that would take on anything that comes in its path, it knows NO fear, it knows NO pain. It also can be defined as a massive inexorable force, movement, or object that crushes whatever is in its path. It stops for no opponent and above all, the Juggernaut welcomes challenges.
My friends, Ztec is proud to present our new name. From now on, we will be called
"ZTEC JUGGERNAUTS"..
We will move as a single unit, we will flow with creativity, we will work together and we will play as one. New Ztec players learn this and learn it well, Seniors Ztec players, let's show this through our actions and our game. Let us show our young ones how we did it and what it means to play for Ztec.
This year we bring a whole new level to our game. We bring ourselves and our team to greater heights. Remember, what we expect is what we accomplish. If we expect small we accomplish small. So let us look to our own hearts first. Prepare yourselves.. Its about to get interesting.. Join us, and let us bring the Spirit of Ztec back!
ZTEC JUGGERNAUTS!! 1.... 2..... WHOOSH!!
