Proud moment over the weekend. My 7 year old son has taken a liking to soccer and has gotten pretty good at it. He played over the summer and while he did great, didn't score a goal. He was however the fastest on the team (thanks Mom's genetics).
I worked with him the best I could and just kept telling him it didn't matter if they won or lost or who scored the most goals as long as they all had fun. He was still pretty bummed regardless.
So we enrolled him in a fall league that plays indoor on regulation fields.
In his first game after we worked a week or so together he comes into the game 3 minutes in, tears off towards the ball, steals it, flies down the field, left outside foot to the ball in stride right around defender one, right outside foot to the ball in stride around defender two and kicks a rocket into the goal for the first goal of the match.
I don't know who was happier.
If that wasn't great enough, later in the match one of the boys on the other team took a hard kick to the shin and went down. My boy immediately drops and takes a knee until he gets up. Damn proud moments right there.
