Soccer Season

Last year I coached Libby's team and she didn't enjoy it much. I wasn't sure if it was me or the soccer she didn't enjoy, so I made her play again this year (yes, you read that right, I made her play!). I'm now convinced it was me she didn't enjoy. She has played great this year and for the most part really enjoyed it. Just today, she said, "Mom, I've made a goal at every soccer game, right?" Honestly, I think she has made a goal at every game and maybe even more than one. More importantly, she hasn't been moaning to me about how she doesn't want to play (except for the game when she got a bloody lip from an overly aggressive boy on the other team- his dad was the coach- that's a whole other story- grrrr is all I can say about that). Bottom line, I guess I won't be coaching Libby again. Maybe Noelle will give me a chance.
