Field Hockey Advice!?

Question

I have never done a sport before. Well, a real sport, on a team. So, for about 6 months I have been planning on playing field hockey. It would be fun and my friend M was going to do it as well. Now M has decided she doesn't want to do it because this year's coach is supposedly mean. Now I don't know what to do. I am not thought of as an athletic person and I have absolutely no other friends on the team. So I'm afraid if I do it people are going to be asking "what is SHE doing here?" etc. Also, I don't want to be the worst person on the team leading everyone to secretly resent me. Anyone have any thoughts?

Answer 1

  Take a shot at it. Challenge yourself...make new friends. Learn from them and become the best player you can. They'll respect you for your efforts and so will the coach.

Answer 2

1. Don't be so paranoid

2. Have confidence. if you have confidence, nobody will question you. Confidence is like some kind of Aura, other people see it and feel it i guess. It's a positive thing.

be confident and you'll do fine.
