So I played a game against our rivals, 12UAA1. My team is the second team, 12UAA2. We’re mostly 2014s, with a few 2013s. They’re the exact opposite. 2013s with one or two 2014s
Last time we played, we lost 3-2
This time, we lost 10-4
I played terrible. I got scored on three times in one shift
My +- (plus minus) would’ve been a -5 or -6, if I hadn’t been on when one of my teammates scored a goal
The one Im really frustrated about is how their player chipped it past my D partner, then he literally OUTSKATED me on a breakaway and scored
I got really upset
It made me think I’m really slow
Like, that kid was NOT EVEN TOP 10 in fast skaters kn that team
Yet he still beat me
Then another player (no offense, but even slower than the other) TIED me in speed
I know they were 2013s but I’m still really frustrated and I feel like I’m slow
How do I stop thinking this, get faster, and regain my confidence?
