Victory at last!
The Under-10 soccer team I coach had their first win of the season on Saturday, overcoming Penn Manor 2 to 1. They are starting to play much better, but sometimes there's this nervousness or lethargy or something that I don't quite understand. They seem to play harder against each other practice than they do against the other team on Saturdays. I told them to do a slow jogging cool down after the game on Saturday and they sprinted at full speed across the field. The ref said, "I didn't see them run that fast in the whole game!" I laughed ruefully because it was true. I'm going to try to think of ways to teach them to run hard to the ball and off the ball. I had fun in my game, but I didn't score and we lost 3 to 0. Oh well. It was a beautiful fall weekend.
