The Diary Game: 11/05/2026 || My School Female Football Training Season

it started from when I got invited to come and cover the female soccer training session with my camera, and immediately I heard about it, I already knew it was going to be one of those active and interesting moments to capture, so while preparing in the house, I took my time arranging my camera properly, checking everything carefully, making sure the lens, battery, and other little things were complete because once it comes to outdoor football sessions, you really have to be prepared before stepping out.

while packaging my camera and getting myself ready, there was already this calm excitement in my mind because I was not just going there to watch, I was going there to capture the whole atmosphere and energy of the training, and that thought alone made me more focused while preparing, making sure everything was properly set before leaving the house

the journey to the location was actually smooth and peaceful, because the road was surprisingly free and there were not too many cars moving around at that time, so the movement felt relaxed instead of stressful, and as I kept going, the environment around also looked calm and fresh, making the whole ride feel even lighter before getting to the field

when I finally reached the training location, the players were already there in their football jerseys, and honestly the sight alone already gave that real soccer atmosphere immediately, because everybody looked prepared and serious for the training, the jerseys looking clean, boots ready, and the whole environment already active even before the actual session fully started

after settling in, the players later gathered together in one place while little instructions and announcements were being made before training started properly, and that moment gave me the chance to start positioning myself with the camera, observing different angles and preparing to capture the session the right way, while everyone’s attention stayed focused on the training ahead

once everything was fully set, I started moving around with my camera, taking shots of the players as they prepared, stretched, and interacted with each other before the drills began, and even while standing there with the camera in hand, you could already feel the strong energy around the field because everybody looked motivated and ready to give their best during the session as the soccer training finally started, the whole atmosphere became more lively immediately, players running across the field, calling for passes, communicating loudly.

Another thing that stood out was the teamwork and connection between the players during the session, because even when the drills became stressful and physically demanding, they still encouraged each other and stayed active throughout, and that balance between hard work and enjoyment made the whole training feel real and enjoyable to watch from beginning to end

By the time the session was gradually ending, I had already captured so many strong moments from the training, from the warm ups to the action on the field and even the small interactions between the players, and standing there afterward with my camera, looking at everything that had happened, it just felt satisfying knowing the whole experience came together naturally, from the preparation in the house to the smooth road, the lively atmosphere, and the energy of the soccer training itself.
