Clear Your Minds, Free Yourself

For those of us who played in the recent Wave Challenge know of the ups and downs we had and what we had to go through. Many frustrations, upsets, and even discontentment, but we pressed on and pushed through. Sometimes, there are certain aspects that will hinder us from unleashing our full potential, many times it is something that we cannot overcome due to the simple fact that it is totally out of our control.

What we need to do now is to know that we are not the only ones who are going through this as many other teams are experiencing the same situation. But how do we solve this? What should we do? I tell you this....

We focus on that which is truly important...

We must not forget why we play Floorball. Why we train so hard, pushing ourselves to the limit point, why we do what we do. It is for the love of the game. Nothing else. Most of us play floorball because we love this sport. Some have made it into a money making establishment, or even a way to gain power and control. We do it because we love the sport. Right now, we will put Wave Challenge behind us and press on towards our main objective, and that is Division 1 League. We will not give people a reason to mock us, or to condemn us. We will hold our heads high and fight for what is truly ours. Our title.

Calm your hearts of anger and rage, but fan the fire of Floorball. I urge all of you, people of Ztec, search deep within your hearts and find the reason you play the sport. Find the passion that dwells deep within you and let it come out. Cause if you have the heart and passion for the game, I honestly tell you, nothing can stop you. That is the main thing we the coaches want to see, we want to see the passion of our players set free. Some people approached me asking, "how do you do it?". It's simple, we play from our hearts. We would literally pour our hearts into the game.

So, people of Ztec Juggernauts... If there is one thing i ask of you today, it is this. Clear your mind, free yourself. Free yourself of all the negatives and politics in Floorball. Just play the game and compete because you love it. Play the game because you feel happy playing. I myself, and many others, seniors and juniors alike, need to do this too. Go back to the beginning of when you first held a floorball stick, when you scored your first goal, when you enjoyed yourself so much that coming to training meant the world, and leaving after that was like leaving family. Brothers, sisters.

Ztec, we truly are proud of you.. Continue making us proud. Congrats to all who played during the Wave Challenge. We gave it all, we did our best, and we did it as a team. That is the only thing we require from you..
