the time to hesitate is through :rant:
It is monday. The day I swore I was going to let everything come to a head, the day that I reckoned would change this semester and the future of biohazard's team. For right now, we have no team. We have a conglomeration of a variety of talents undecided in their direction and passionless in their pursuit of a common goal. What goal though?
Hannah and Will both have expressed the drought of charismatic leadership this year. Is this entirely true? We have charismatic individuals, but I believe the (as Quaker's would say) "eldering" so righteously imposed this year all the way through to who gets first choice of beds--not who laid out the most at a game, or caused the most D's...it's about age, it's about experience, and it's not about the team. Our leaders are struggling to inspire folks who just assume throw the disc back and forth endlessly instead of play a game and intentionally work on skill. Ahh, but that's not everyone--it's the people who are most out spoken, the people who feel their freedom and structure-less relaxation threatened. I fear the downfall of the biohazard team. NOT the future of ultimate at guilford. The sacrifice of a bless'd thing which is that of the space and resources to make a rare thing: a team. People striving toward a common goal, in support of one another and at the occasional sacrifice of personal agenda.
I am tired of being a lethargic body, blowing in the wind..I am sick of this mess. I am SICK of it! It's time for change..it's time for leadership to not only take hold, but inspire. Finally, ultimately..
Sectionals is in two months (give or take) and we have so much to work on. When will we decide? Friday.. no sooner.
I just wish the weather was better today.
