Soccer for ten/eleven year old boys is an interesting experience. You see the best and worst of mankind, the strength of young men and the wekness and vunerablity of children. We had all today, the joy of a victory, the agony of injury (with associated tears) the cooperation of teammates and the selfishness of individuality of those that want to score for their own glory.
But we perservered and won, finishing the season on a high note with bookend wins, in the first game and in the last game with a tie in the middle, so 2-4-1 for the year. I was proud of the kids, I hope they learned the lesson that they exhibited today, that being positive and playing for and with others yields positive results. That contrasted with the negative back talking of last week.
Perhaps us adults should learn the same
