I have to brag. I kinda got suckered into coaching a youth soccer team this fall. I was not really looking forward to it, but it has become one the most reqarding experiences in my life.

At our game today, the guys came out a little flat. But that second half hit and they got fired up and really played their heart out. Came from behind and kept the team we played from scoring the entire second half and put up 4 goals bringing us to a 7 to 5 win. These guys really "got it" today and just exploded on the field. One forward played so hard he ended up tossing his cookies behind the goal, and came back later to play again. My son has always been a little "shy" but he got tired of being pushed around and smoked a more experienced player and took the ball away, shot it through the guys legs, went around him, blocked him out and took the ball to midfield and passed up to a forward who drove on the keeper and blasted it in.

I had to brag.
