While I have recently joined my team Bondi Beach Buccaneers. This week's practice was hell for us players. The coaches weren't pleased with the 4 unnecessary roughness penalties that we received last week all in the 4th quarter in a tight game against the Kansas City Coyotes. While the Coyotes are a really good team, we had them where we wanted them 23-10 in the 4th quarter with 10 minutes left in the game. We had already been called for one unnecessary roughness penalty, but no one predicted the last 2 penalties to factor into the Coyotes scoring 14 points in the last 3 minutes and upsetting us.
The entire week coach had us run suicides, and push us to the brink to get a response. It didn't matter if we just joined the team (I and my fellow 3 recruits were given multiple meetings with various coaches on what to do in various situations to control our emotions and be smarter players), you were running suicides if one person showed any un-necessary emotions rather that be a sigh and any gestures showing our exasperation.
While the media may throw a fit and call this too much, us players appreciated the tough love. It all paid off as the Bondi Beach Bucs kept their playoff hopes alive with a 22-14 win over the current #1 seed, Luchadores. In a better show of temperament, the Bucs only committed 2 penalties.
