By default, I've always been a Manchester City fan. But because it is only my brother who's big on football, I was never actively involved in supporting them. In my life I've been to three football matches. 1. A City match I remember nothing about. 2. The London 2012 Olympics which I remember nothing about (not entirely sure it actually happened) 3. Manchester City Women cup final win about two weeks ago.
Hearing Hannah talk about the women's team inspired me to go and see them myself. I do think it's a great thing to support because the amount of people who'll attend a women's football match doesn't even compare the number at a men's match. (Funny considering the women won that day and the men lost) I had a really great time. It makes me very nervous to watch football but it's also incredibly exciting. I don't feel the same about it when I see a match on TV than when I go in person. Usually on TV, I'm just not that invested. I'd like to be but I'm not.
When thinking about sport, what always pops up is humiliation education or as it's more commonly known Physical Education (P.E.). I hated this in school. Not because I hated sport but because I wasn't good at it. If you weren't good at sport, you were disliked in PE. There wasn't encouragement to improve so I stopped trying. Any enthusiasm I had for sports was gone after a PE lesson. And now I'm just trying to get that enthusiasm back. I will never be good at any sport. But I do think I could enjoy it again.
This has been a little random. I didn't really have a point to make other than watch Hannah Witton and PE was awful. These were some of my thoughts on sport, feel free to share yours with me. Thank you for reading
