Colin and soccer

Big news!!
Colin had soccer practice tonight and he LOVED it!! This is big big news because Colin had a terrible soccer season last fall and is coming off of a very rough baseball season this spring.

Last year he was on a team with a whole lot of traveling members who were much better than he was and for some reason he was left off the roster despite our signing him up in the spring and joined the team late, after most of the instruction had been given. It just gave him a really rough start and he floundered for most of the fall.

Baseball was awful! They never held practice and Colin was hit in the ribs while at bat on the second game and spent the rest of the season scared of the ball.. His coaches never really coached, just supervised games. Overall, it was a very disappointing season for all of us.

Colin has a wonderful and seemingly dedicated coach - Coach MAC - who is super enthusiastic and really working hard with the boys to actually teach them techniques to improve their game. She is upbeat and encouraging. I just know that Colin is going to have a great season. It was so nice to pick him up from practice and see a smile on his face and his face all flushed from getting a good work out in.

I can't wait for the games to start!!
