Ending a season is never easy. This is the first weekend that I haven’t had a Galway Titans game in several months. It’s a strange feeling, as I’ve become programmed to playing a game every Saturday. Months’ worth of hard work and dedication to a team made me feel attached and committed to the people who went through those moments with me. Since September, we have been training and playing games trying to become the best we can possibly be. And like any season, there were moments of struggle, and moments of triumph. While our team was very young and struggled at times, we overcame a lot. We may not have had a ton of success in the wins column; I believe there are more than one ways to define success. We were successful because the players who stuck with it maintained a strong work ethic, when it certainly could have been easier to just give up. We were successful because we got significantly better throughout the year, and many individual players got significantly better. I believe I personally was successful because I now have a group of friends that I know I can always trust and count on. This is what is great about sports. It’s more than wins and losses, it’s more than X’s and O’s, it’s more than just a game.
