Syd and Soccer

This kid has thrown me for a loop. I was dead set against her playing soccer again, once this season was over, after her first two games. She would just kind of hang back and let her teammates get the ball. She would get to the ball and just stop. Where was the aggressiveness that I never remember lacking? It was just too frustrating for us as parents to watch.

Then suddenly...this girl appeared for the last 3 games (of a 6 game season.)




She was hustling, running so fast, she was getting to where she should be, and she scored a goal! It was actually fun to watch her games.
...I guess we won't pull the plug on soccer just yet...she'll get another chance. :)
Howie was even impressed.
