Wow

It seems as if I only wrote my last entry a few days ago, but wow, the last several weeks have flown by. So, indeed it is time for the latest update on life and my coaching.

My daughter’s team played their season finale yesterday, which was ugly, but it is over. The lost 5 – 0, but I do believe they learned a lot this season. We did end up with a winning record of 5-4-2 which truly surprised me. To be honest, I didn’t even expect that with the Motley Crew that I was given. They were a good bunch of kids who really for the most part just wanted to play soccer. They didn’t care whether they won or lost, but I did. LOL

As for my Boys team, we are 4-3-1 right now. We have had some really tough losses which we should have never lost two of those three. The sad thing is they tear themselves apart with a lot of in fighting and just silly stuff. No matter how hard you try to teach them that it is a team, they want to blame individuals for the losses. You dropped your mark, or you had a perfect shot and missed, etc. are the battle cries I do hear. It is ridiculous, but I guess it is part of the game.

We have two tough games this week and then three next. So, I will be coaching right up until Christmas break. This year I really need the break because I am ever more exhausted then I was last year. I don’t know why, but things are taking their toll on me and just wearing me out. I will survive, though.

Well, that is it for now. Wish us luck!!!! Talk to you soon.
