Point Loma Nazarene has one of the best soccer fields I’ve ever played on and unquestionably the best rec soccer pitch I’ve ever seen. Even as our team struggles with mediocrity, having squandered several quality scoring opportunities and given up a PK goal to lose 1-0 in last week’s game, I take joy in stepping onto the pitch and looking at the ocean over Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. We face a much tougher opponent this week and will need to bring our “A game” to stay competitive. The team has already started recruiting girls to replace our numerous injured female players. I hate to admit it, but it was difficult for me to do a hard workout after last week’s game. My quad was incredibly sore after our game last week and it made running a big challenge. Hopefully the body is slowly getting back into soccer shape and the soreness won’t be as bad this week. More to come…
