Well, we had a really bad season of soccer this Fall. We didn’t win ANY games all season and morale was really down. The parents weren’t happy and the kids weren’t happy. The coach yelled at the boys and couldn’t make a lot of the games. One game he spent most of the time on the cell phone. And he wouldn’t accept any help from the fathers who said they would be glad to assist him. He didn’t learn the boys names and they didn’t learn each other’s names until the season was almost done. But, the boys kept trying……
And then the coach asked if everyone wanted to sign up for the tournament. We all agreed it would give them more practice. At the last moment, the coach quit and didn’t even turn the paperwork in. We were in shock at the way he was acting. 2 parents stepped in –Oliver’s Dad and Jacob’s Dad and saved the day by coaching the boys – who they didn’t even know the names of – during the tournament. Believe it or not, we won every game and won our division in the tournament. It was such a sweet victory for these boys who felt the coach had given up on them and they came back and won the tournament!! Way to go boys!!
They put Justin in defense where he was a WALL – and didn’t let many balls get by him!! Way to go Justin!!
