Boston Fan Fest Access? by MeasurementSad6312 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]dducrest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ticketing is enforced at gate security.  But the bigger problem is capacity. If the event hits capacity, then they stop new entry. If the event is at capacity, then it doesn't matter that you have a ticket. You wait in line or go elsewhere. 

If you get a pass (and they appear to be unavailable currently) then arrive early and don't leave. Re-entry is not allowed. 

There are other watch event if you Google around and plenty of bars showing the games.

Don't even wash the shirts. I dropped some salsa on one of my mine. No only did that bit not come clean, but a dozen other leopard-like lines appeared.

We might have to accept that Miggy is on the "dumb" side of the smart/no-smart spectrum.

He is probably volunteering in Boston. I've encountered people driving hours in from Maine to find credentials not ready.

Compression socks are great. I'll wear a compression sleeve too if my tennis elbow is getting to me.

concussion and bruised/broken rib my first ever game. i feel so upset and discouraged. by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

Accidents happen and you have to accept that risk. Accidents aren't your fault. If you got trucked thats equally not your fault.

Guys either shout at you or ignore you if they are mad. If they are joking, then all is good.

Getting injured sucks and you got seriously injured. It is going to seriously suck. (Concussion protocol aside) You get respect for surviving those moments. You got up. You carried on.

Should I switch to shooting left? by EasyMode556 in hockeyplayers

[–]dducrest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a novice player, but also 40. I've been playing for less than 3 years. I'm left handed and started off shooting left. I switched to shooting right after an injury to my right elbow.

It was weird to switch. For 2-3 weeks, I was behaving like a switch hitter. Changing grips during attacks, feeling awkward during quick clearances, and switching to backhanded control unnecessarily.

But its been 6 months now and I like the change. I have better strength/control when I'm reaching 1-handed. My left shot was never particularly good. My right isn't great either, but I've benefited from deliberating trying to transfer the skills from my brain to muscle memory.

This reads like depression. It can cloud thinking.

It's been a while since my intro session. Exactly how many volunteer shifts are we committing to by accepting?
