1 vs. 1

1 vs. 1 is when it is you and another player competing to score. One is defending the goal, the other is trying to score. The person trying to score is pulling every move they can so the defender will mess up and the attacker scores. Some people like this situation, others do not. I like 1 vs. 1 in games but in practice I hate it! In practices you know everyone there and they all know your favorite moves you like to do, so it is hard to score. It is more slowly paced and all planned out while you are waiting in line, 1 vs. 1 needs to be spontaneous and the moves just come with the situation. At practice if you get beat you don't hear the end of it from the player who won or the coach who is praising the person who scored or blocked your shot. It also gets you down if you lose, you confidence decreases and you don't play good anymore and just don't care. If you are the person who won you get really confident and sometimes cocky and then you are at risk for hurting yourself at practice because of silly mistakes. Games are better in my opinion for 1 vs. 1 situations. You don't know the person who you are up against and they don't know you so that means that neither of you know what move the person will pull to try to beat you. The moves come with the situation, they aren't planned out like they are in practice. You just do what comes to you and if it doesn't work the other players on the field on your team have you back to defend that person next. If you mess up and lose it is no big deal you just get right back in there and keep playing. If you win, good for you! Don't let it get to you now, you still have the rest of the game to play and you have to go up against that person again and they will be looking for victory.
