Goalball Practice

Well, today I went and helped some of the players on the Canadian Goalball team with their practice. I think that it went pretty well. They did some offensive and defensive drills...the practice was only 1 hour long so they couldn't really do too much. I got in on some of the action too. They let me do a 2 man drill and I did pretty well on the defense part but when it came to offense, I only hit my tight cross twice out of 10 shots. Oh well, it could have been worse. Then on my last shot, I was hit directly in the sore spot on my foot.

OPSC

This past weekend I attended the Ontario Parasport Summer Championships for goalball. The tournament went pretty much as planned. We figured that we would play for the bronze medal, unfortunately, I lost the game for us in overtime. I got a penalty and then I let in a penalty shot...which shouldn't have happened because, the person throwing the penalty shot, threw the ball right into the three hole. I was shifting towards where the person was throwing from so when I went to move back towards the three, my feet slid out from under me and I tipped the ball right into the net. Needless to say, we got fourth, not third.
