I've joined a local football team. Just an amateur thing, not a particularly high level.
Thing is, i stink at football. Well, i'm pretty bad anyway. I've not played in a couple of years, which i guess makes things a bit worse too, but even in my 'prime', i was quite lame.
The first training session was today.
My motivation for joining? I picked out a fairly bad team (on league ranking), hoping my skills would fit. All i was looking for was a bit of fun, a kick around (not many people around in the summer for anything less formal).
In fairness, i'm not 'that' far out of my depth, and i will get better, but i didn't do anything that good, and made a fair few mistakes. And i'll definitely spend most of the matches firmly placed on the bench.
So the experiment - is it really just the taking part that counts? Or do you need to at least have some success for it to be worth bothering?
We have a friendly on thursday. I should get some time. Maybe i'll get a better idea then. Right now, i'm not sure.
We shall see.

I suppose it just depends upon how hard you try.
These days I dont put much effort into anything so i wont feel low if I fail. Perhaps that will mean i will never reach my peak but it also means i will never reach my low.
