I am a horrible un sympotetic bastard so pain to me is just a temp thing which "You'll got over".
The worst I have felt is trying to do a "Pele" in my backgarden but landing on my groin/pelvic bone. Thank god Mums garden was surrounded by trees and nobody saw what had happened, I crawled like a snail for an hour into the kitchen so I could reach a phone and ring her. (A pele is a volley in football, I got it all wrong and landed face first). "Get up ya soft twat and empty the dishwasher" she told me, and thats where I get my attitude from.
Last Tues at hockey training I hit some young kid on the foot with the ball (Im the coach). He's 10, my best player by far and is one of the best kids I have ever coached in over 15 years of doing this. I took the ball off him, skinned him twice, went to smack it up the line and topped the ball, I hadnt even hit it hard but mishit it, it looped onto his ankle and he went down like a sack of shit. I knew I had hit his shin pad but because I had showed him up he's rolling on the floor like a baby while I'm looking for the sniper. Eventually his Dad came over being all sympathetic with him and then other coaches, I patted him on the head and walked off in a strop. Im going to make the little prick pay for that tonight, Im going to show him up again. I knew he wasnt hurt but he was balling how I had "Broken his foot". I'm not having babies on my pitch. The week before my girl who is 3 years younger got smacked in the mouth with a stick and was bleeding, I bollocked her for being in the middle of 20 kids hitting shit out of each other trying to get the ball.
I know it sounds harsh but its better to be this way rather than all wooosy wooosy and do it from an early age.
