Rugby

I had my first rugby practice Tuesday night. It was the coolest thing since Koolaid.
I love it more than any other sport. I might just love it more than basketball. I learned how to throw and catch the ball. It's different than football. You can't throw the ball forward only sideways and backwards. It takes a little getting used to. After our coach taught me that, she showed me how to ruck (similar to tackling). Then I did some drills. I was told I was picking it up pretty well. My main problem was I wasn't confident in what I was doing and I kept hesitating at first or I would forget to step into my throw. I just have to work on some technique issues and essentially just play. Submerge myself in the game and stop thinking about what the next step is as much. Our next practice is tonight. I already bought my ball and mouth guard. I just have to pick up some cleats and I'm set to go.
