Student Athletes were unable to play competitive sports this past season. Fortunately they followed suggestions from their Coach and continued a fitness plan at home. But even the most dedicated found their thoughts to be wandering to another time and place. IMPACT provided this opportunity to let them “let their frustrations out”. What I miss most about not being able to play is the satisfaction of being able to work and overcome an obstacle, whether during practice or in a match, together with my team. What I miss the most about not having a season is playing with my teammates. Not having that fun is getting to me.

When people ask me what I miss most about playing soccer, but that's just it. The fact that I was not able to play soccer at school and against other schools was very sad and disappointing. When you don't play soccer competitively against other schools, you get to meet other kids from other schools, but you also get to go all out and not worrying about anything else. Playing soccer and winning or beating another school feels very rewarding after all the practices you have gone through, which makes it sad that there were no games that could be played. Lets hope for a better year and having more chances to play soccer and other sports too. Stephen
March, 2021 The pandemic has separated us athletes for many months, during those periods of isolation what I miss the most is the energy of the team. The varsity basketball team is extremely competitive and outgoing, we would often challenge each other in everything, whether it's shooting, ball handling, and so forth. Due to the positive energy and vibes that we get from one another, we were able to excel in team practice as well as in actual basketball matches. Therefore, for this reason, I miss the energy and the guys in our team the most, although I have a hoop at home where I can practice alone, nothing can be compared to the experience you get when coming together as one big team.

What I miss the most about not being able to play soccer is enjoying the company of my friends and teammates while playing. I miss the relieving feel when kicking the ball after a stressful day. I miss running around freely and enjoying the outdoor weather. Friends. I miss my friends. I might join every sport once we are allowed to play, just so I can be around people again!
March, 2021 What I miss the most about not being able to play is seeing the smile on my teammates' faces. Khim What I miss the most about not being able to go to tournaments is the competitive feeling I am looking for. Playing Table Tennis at home with my brother is fun and all, but I don’t get the pressure, the mindset, and the nervousness which I think is a very important part of playing sports professionally. It’s like sparring compared to a real fight in boxing, I really miss the feel of blood racing through my veins and fire burning inside me when I compete in tournaments! Mon G10S
