I like giving myself a full day of reflection when writing these report cards, often hoping to gain a bit of perspective when reflecting on the previous day’s match. And I now realize how ridiculous that is, basically spending an entire day dwelling over a loss, particularly throughout a season of losses.
It’s definitely aggrieving, particularly when you come to the realization that no matter how well the team plays, especially against a poorly performing opponent, a loss will always be a loss.
But that’s kind of what’s needed, isn’t it? Find those flaws, overcome them, and build on the positives.
