My knowledge of soccer is about the same as my knowledge of quantum physics - pretty much nothing. So when the recreation director asked if I would be the assistant coach for Isaac's soccer team for the second year in a row, I felt bad for the poor kid. Since soccer skills are not going to be genetically bestowed on him, any chance of success is going to be somewhat dependent on a capable coach.
Regardless of coaching, Isaac was not incredibly enthusiastic about soccer. This shot was taken mid-game, and unfortunately was not all that abnormal.
The good news is, we had a good time, and at his age I think that's what it should still be about.
While Levi was playing, the concession stand was usually more interesting than the game for these brothers.
Levi takes sports a little more seriously than Isaac, and all of the rest of us for that matter, so it was great news when his team won the championship for his league.
Levi likes to work hard and play hard. He likes it when his teammates do the same.
We were thrilled to have our friends the Reyes' as his coaches.
One day when I dropped him off at practice, I told Levi to "work hard." His coach said, "You can't tell him to work any harder than he already does." We were happy that hard work paid off at the end of the season for this soccer star.
