New Endeavors

According to the short version of my Yahoo! Astrology horoscope today: “Start something new — push yourself toward goals or experiences that you desire.” So tonight I’m going to try out the Good As Gould weekly goalie training program. The sessions are held at the same rink where my team practices, an hour before our ice time, so it’s super convenient.

I’m a bit nervous though, because, well, I’ve been anxious quite a bit lately as it is, but mainly because it’s mostly kids in the program. However, I talked to the owner, Stu Gould, this morning, and he assured me that I’d fit right in and the program would be perfect for me. Although there aren’t other women students, there are girls, including the daughter of a player on our White team, as well as a 35-year-old guy. I think he said they divide up the students between beginners and more experienced goalies, so I’ll be able to learn fundamentals.

Aside from my anxiety, only good things can come out of of this, since I’ve never had any goalie instruction whatsoever — I’ve never played on a team that has a goalie coach. Plus, the weekly fee is actually cheaper than a therapist’s office fee :d! The sessions run ’til the beginning of summer, so if I take any more jewelry classes, I’ll wait until then.
