My pride is soooo big...

J and Bs soccer games started today. B was up first...we had to be there at 7:30 AM!! those of you who know me know I am not a mornign person, and either is B!!!LOL! We got there and se up our chairs and the game began, B was a forward, the poor girls they played against didn't know what hit them I don't think! B ended up getting 2 goals (and $4 from daddy..she will be rich by the end of the season at $2 a goal!)and her team ended up winning 12-0! The ref told her coach at halftime to tell the girls to try not to score anymore!!! Next was J's game...now, we sent the girl to camp and she learned so so much and she was so excited to play this year, only to get a first year coach who treats them like "little girls", I absolutely hate when people tell my girls they are "just girls" or "only little girls" it is just a huge pet peeve of mine. So, her coach doesn't run them, doesn't push them or anything, she came home in tears on Thursday night because seh was so discouraged. So we didn't have high hopes for todays game...plus they were playing a team whose coach tried to stack his team, and we had big problems with last year. Since J is a goalie I never sit down, I get too nervous so I pace back and forth, everybody makes fun of me for this, but I literally cannot sit down! She was determined not to let them score on her..and she did an amazing job! Her team scored first, which was such a blow to the other coach (Karma is what you get when you try to stack your team!), one of the better girls on J's team wasn't there today, so we didn't have any subs and they started to get tired and got worn out and her defense broke down and the did end up scoring 1 goal on her, so they ended up in a tie 1-1...but they didn't lose and J did so good, other parents were complimenting her! I am hoping that the coaches now see what they need to work on and will start working on it during practice. John and I talked about it and decided that we would build up J's endurance on our own too, while I am walking at B's practices, J can do some running...it can only help her! She loves soccer so much and she knows that if she does her best and stands out then at the end of the season when it comes down to picking for All Stars the other coaches will hopefully notice her and pick her. John and I were talking and saying when we watch her on the soccer field we feel so much pride that it feels like we are going to burst!!! Watching her on the soccer field is the same as watching s dancing on stage..it's where they are meant to be! I am seeing a lot of soccer weekend in our future!!!
