How do you deal with...

Being the weak link in the team?

Today I played in a soccer quarter-final, and the game ended 2-2. I'd played pretty well, I thought. Then came extra time, and I really dug deep, and thought I'd helped out the team with my performance, but we didn't manage to score.

So, penalty shootout it was.

I put my hand up to take one, and was taking the last kick of the 5. I had to score, or we lost and our season was over.

I did not score.
