i'm the assistant coach for my nephew's soccer team and we're having a blast! it is a church league so a little more informal. they actually do a devotion during practice, which is pretty cool. our first game is on saturday! i'm so excited...maybe more so than he is. i need to find a league and start playing again. i miss it. it is something i didn't realize that i missed so much til i started dabbling with it again. i'll let you know how he does. during the practice scrimage today he scored 2 goals...but we don't play to win, we play to have fun. my competitive nature goes completely against what i just said. but i'm trying to teach him and all the kids that it isn't just about winning, it is about having fun and doing your best. you may not have realized the sore loser that i can be. i think i'm definitely better than i was before. but when i know i'm better than someone else at something and they get lucky...that wears me out. kevin is not suppose to win at backgammon...that's just not how it is suppose to work. and yet he does. and i'm forever baffled by this curious happenstance. i should stop now before i ramble...and yet i should probably have said that 10 sentences ago.
