Tee Pee E. Thinks

[Goliathus 50]

Musing from season latecomer Tee Pee E.:

 

"For many years I have wanted to play at the highest level in ice hockey and I am glad that I finally had a chance. I will take this chance and do my best with it. It doesn't matter if I fail -- even if I am trying my best NOT TO, but you know, life's a cruel mistress. I understand sport is a talent-based game, it's not a regular 9-5 job where you can be mediocre and survive. As someone who is just not in the spotlight in my whole life, it's a challenge for sure. I am not touted as a great player, or even good. No 5 star recruit, ESPN spotlight or whatever. It's me against the world, although same can be said to the best talents. This world is full of haters, and sport fans are pretty vicious. It's another challenge I have to be mentally prepared for as a soon-to-be professional player. But the 'soon-to-be' is not so soon, since a no-name in the minor is not someone anyone gives a fuck about. It's about work hard and getting recognized.

 

I.AM.FUCKING.READY!"
