anybody confident hard knee learning ok tears timid
My knee has been fine. At first, it was hard because all of the tears were from contact. Anybody bumping me or anything made me nervous. I was more timid and shied away, and that's not me. Not at all. I'm learning to be confident and that I'll be OK if and when I play hard on it.
adjust bench cheer court frustrated lost played rather sit spot struggle trying turns
I lost a lot of court sense in that time, so it has been a struggle trying to come back. I've been frustrated a lot. It's different because I haven't played for a while and I'm trying to adjust to a new level. I'm trying to find my spot on the team, what I can do for them, and I'd rather sit on the bench and cheer if that turns into a win.
feeling good took
It took a lot out of me. It's a good feeling to play, it really is, but there are a lot of nerves.
