[[Polo Bo Bo]]
There was a goddamn big Hoohah over the water polo finals… initially I thought I knew what was happening.. then I got what I thought was a third party view, but now I feel that may too have been a corrupted opinion… I am not going to pass any judgment as of yet.. not before Cpt tells us what happened… I had wanted to talk to him but I never got the chance.
I may only be a stand-in Manager..it may only be a simple game, but somehow I feel responsible for this team… I don’t want them to be kept in the dark of anything.. I don’t want the name of this team to go down in shit… Since I had invited the guys to play a part in the team, I cannot let our name go to shame.. I don’t want everyone to be unable hold their heads high when polo is mentioned.. I do not wish that the guys to be ashamed to mention that they were from the polo team.. I don’t want our hall to be sneered at..
Not that I feel extreme love or hate, but since I’m here in this hall, I’m not allowing myself to have rotten memories.. whatever it is, we must fight for it.. not all in the team will feel this way, but at least I do..
I don’t care what others say… All I know is that, whatever I see everytime at the pool, at the trainings, that’s the real deal… evreryone is there.. we may be late for training, but we are nevertheless there in the shit together… more than half the team has never touched a polo ball in our lives before, not to mention, we weren’t even strong swimmers to begin with… to be there from the first time till the last day, there is no bullshit in that.. the scores speak for themselves.. we may have particularly good players, but the rest of the team aren’t fucking benchwarmers. I may tease Brendan for the goal he scored, but without prior training, the coordination and teamwork displayed during that goal would never have been possible. That, I honestly think, is not something any fucking bugger can argue about.
What ever we do, do it with pride… there’s no joy in just passing through the motion.. I take pride in being in this Polo team.. not because we are good, but because everyone is there together no matter how tough it is.. there is this sense of belonging… it doesn’t matter if the other members don’t feel this way because I know I do.
That is enough for me.
