The 2nd season syndrome
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:39 pm
Hi All,
Have any of you suffered from this? It's a well known football term usually surrounding a newly promoted team doing so well in that first season. By season two in the same division things don't quite go to plan (more info here: Second Season Syndrome ).
Well, i'm smack bang in the middle of one and am trying hard to get myself out of it. Anyone with previous experience with this have any tips on how to stay focused & overcome form slump/circumstance/other outside contributing factors? I'm beginning to think this season is cursed!
After my best ever result late last year I've had this happen: a crash involving a car, an operation on a broken arm, a crash in my comeback race resulting in a damaged wheel, a training wheel crumple half way up a hill climb with a 6.5km walk back to civilisation, a coach that came and went and finally my repaired race wheel stolen by a courier. All this whilst sitting in the back of the pack of every race since the comeback trying to get the mojo back.
Is it just circumstance or expected?
