From the perspective of the worst member of a sports team.

Dear Journal,
I missed again today, and it was a perfect pass too. The keeper was even on the ground, all I had to do was tap the ball in, but I missed.

No, don't get over excited this was not a game. It was just another simple drill during practice. They would never let me in a game with the way I play. If I cant even score once during any drill so far at practice how can I have any hope to play in a game? I suck. I always have sucked, and I always will suck.

Today while I was filling up the water, as usual, the one other kids on the football and volleyball teams called me the water boy. Then, they pushed me over and the water jug spilled everywhere. This made infuriated my coach, who didn't care that it wasn't my fault. I had to fill the water again and run extra laps at practice. 

I don't know why I don't get any better even after all the practice I've had. I want to quit, but my parents would be too disappointed in me. My Dad was so happy when I first told him I was going to play soccer. I can't let him down like that.

I like the sport, but I just suck at it. My only option is try practice even harder. I can only hope that some point before I work myself into exhaustion I'll get just a little better.
