My coaching debut





Saturday was my first game coaching Simon's soccer team. Here are some of my observations:

1) It is a good thing we don't have to keep score. I don't know how many goals the other team got but I know it was a shut out from our point of view.

2) It is a good thing this is volunteer position because I just might be fired if you count all of the goals we let happen.

3) It is very difficult to be both a referee and a coach but that is how it is at this level. Luckily the other coach missed what a lot of the calls should have been as well.

4) The most important things to the players is what number is on their jersey and what the snack is.
5) I truly love the game of soccer and hope the kiddos do to.

6) The most important thing to me is I hope Simon will always treasure that his Mommy stood up and volunteered to coach so I could spend quality time with him.
