Kim Ewanovich Blog live from France week#17


Hello,
Highlight Video from a game


This past week has been very hard for me. After the game 2 weeks ago i have been having some problems with my back, nothing to serious but it's very stiff and sore in the mornings. I saw the team physio and he adjusted my back and told me it would be best to take a few days off so my muscles could adjust, but with the teams other goalie not showing up i had no choice but to practice. Nobody really knows why she has not been showing up but they say she is having personal family problems so i was the only goalie at all the practices last week. Normally i love the fact that i am the only goalie because i get all the shots and drills to myself but with the back problems i was hoping to take it a bit easier but couldn't.
Come game day i wasn't feeling any better but i had to suck it up and handball suit up!! Again, i'm not sure the details of the other goalies problems but she didn't show up for the game and i was the only goalie dressing.
This proved to be a bad decision because i had one of my "off" games (as did the rest of the team) and we lost by 2 at home. I left the gym very angry and upset at myself about the game and how i played. When i got home i had a "lets talk about it" session with Tord and i told him how i felt and he told me his thoughts on the game. Although i was against it at the time (because i was still upset) Tord uploaded the game onto the computer and we went though and looked at what i had done that was good and bad and what to do to make myself a better player for next game.
Watching myself play usually makes me frustrated to see the goals i let in (especially after a bad game) but i actually felt better after watching the game because i saw that even for the goals i let in i was in good position and doing what i should have been doing (for the most part). And even though i had a bad game i ended up with a saving percent of 38. So watching the video actually made me feel better.
This weekend we don't have a game but will practice like normal for our game coming up on the 13th.
