So, the youngest is turning out to be the most serious athlete of the three. She has been playing in the goal for her soccer team full time for about a year. The team is moving from an independent D2 to join a club run by a former EPL player. The older two both did/do sports, but never showed much interest in watching other games or the pros to improve their own game. Not so for the youngest. She watches EPL & La Liga all the time. She asks me to take her out to the fields & work on technique with her. She's serious.
This week, she had tryouts for the new club. I can tell that she is a really good, aggressive keeper, when compared to the D2 teams we have played. I didn't have any way to gauge how good she might be on an absolute scale. Well, after the end of tryouts, I got a hint. The parents and kids were standing around after listening to the head of the club cover some business. One of the coaches/trainers approached me while I was talking to my kid & asked "is this your daughter?" Hearing that she is, he said "she is spectacular!" I guess she made the team.
So, umm.. yeah. this is just a "brag on my kid" post.
