Soccer

My soccer boys

Both W & G2 are playing soccer this year.  They are both so excited about their practices and games and love wearing their super cute uniforms to practice and then all day on games days.  W does great at practice and participates and listens to his coach fairly well.  Then when it comes to game time, he kind of fades.  He told me he is not so sure he likes everyone fighting to kick the ball so he just stays to the back of the pack.  That is so his personality...not aggressive and concerned about hurting someones feelings. But, he is enjoying himself and having fun and we are just cheering him on and encouraging him that he too can get a kick or two in on the ball  We want him to have fun and feel a little bit of success as he gains a little bit of confidence out on the field.  His coach is really great and I'm really thankful he is on her team instead of a team where the coach is dead set on winning.   G2 is a totally different story.  He is dead serious about soccer.   He practices with intensity and is all about scoring goals.  At the games, he totally gets the point of the game and although he is definitely not one of the aggressive kids on the field, he works hard to win the ball and attempt to get it down the field.  He has scored multiple goals at each game and is very proud of this and can tell you exactly how many goals he did score.  I love seeing how their different personalities come through in everything we do!
