It was my first game on varsity lacrosse and we stood on the sidelines waiting for the game to begin. My hand became sweaty in my gloves. I saw the goalies shake hands and my heart started to race and beat ferociously. It was exhilarating playing under the lights 3000 miles away from home. I shivered and shook due to the cold and my nervousness. My mouth became parched and I let the cool water swish around swiftly. I subbed on to the field and ran and caught the ball from our goalie. The adrenaline then pumped through my body giving me and surge of energy.
