Hey oneohfour.
tomorrow, is one of the most important days and chances that remain which are within our abilities and decisions to prove ourselves as a class. to prove that we can work with each other and that we are better than them, because we have something between us that pulls us together as a class, and not individuals. i believe that the advantage that makes the netball carnivals lord over dramanite, is that every person who's proud to call herself a oneohfourian will contribute in one way or another, to tomorrow's success. and that is what we require and need to make a mark tomorrow.

i have no doubts about your netball abilities. You guys can jump higher than me, run faster than me, and intercept better than I can. most of the time I am awed by all your moves; they all show different personalities in you that make a team possible. but while you guys are strong physically, you have to be strong mentally too, and perhaps being strong mentally is the key and the something in us that will eventually bring us to success, something that the other classes don't have and we do possess. lijiawei lost the game mentally even before she lost 4-3, because of that korean woman's determination to beat her with every HOAH she screamed her lungs out for. perhaps she was strong physically, endurance, but she couldn't win the battle between her doubts and her confidence and so she lost to her mind. she lost the game because she wasn't as strong as the korean woman mentally, not because she was weak physically. im saying we have to learn from that korean woman. be strong mentally, and no matter how many goals they score, we're gonna be one goal above them, we're not going to let them take control of the game. we're gonna control the game. when they score one we score two. when they score two we score three. but play fair. i'd rather we lose than have anyone not playing fair.

so probably what im saying is, get yourself mentally prepared. we're gonna lose some, we're gonna win some. no matter how many we lose, keep fighting on, because you never know what's going to happen. let's all aspire to be that korean woman who turned the tables around from 3-0. get THEM to start thinking about what you're going to do, and not you try to think what theyre gonna do. tomorrow we're going to be formidable, we're going to be awesome, we're going to be strong, and we're going to be fair. i don't want to see individuals playing on court, i want to see a team that encourages everyone, everyone doing their best for the game. it doesnt matter if we lose, as long as you've done your best, and im proud of you.

we rock oneohfour, goodluck. we can do it.
