1st Game of "my" Season

The first match of the season (for me) was last night against the team HPK (2nd place finish last season). To get to the point, it was a bad game, not just for me but for most of the team. When we stepped on the court it was like some of the players brains flipped off or to panic mode. Personally I played timid in the front row, not hitting as hard as I can and from the back row not swinging smart. My attacking skills lacked big time but my reception and defense wasn't a total disaster. There was no one person to blame in this match since most of the team was more or less not themselves on the court last night. Trying to get used to the new team and players on the court was a little harder then I thought it was going to be. We are all very happy and fun with one another in practice and off the court we click as a team. But during the game last night, it felt like I was meeting most of them for the first time. It was a bit difficult to get into the match when other players were playing scared and confidence levels were low, including my own. However, it was just one match, on to the next, there is no point in dwelling in this last match because it will only mess with our heads for the next match. We need to move on and move on fast, our next match is wednesday. I need to try and find a connection with the setter and also continue to communicate with the team. This is a very different team then the Swedish team I was on last year, but they also have many great qualities as individual players, they just need to apply them in the matches as well as in practice. I know I can play better then how I played last night, I am not worried that we will rise above this match and soldier on. I don't think it can get any worse then last night, we can only go up and forward from here. Wednesday's game will be interesting and hopefully more fun than last nights game. Need to be focused, a lot less nervous, and confident in our play individually and as a team.
