Bailia has a coach this year that simply doesn't like her. It is sad that she noticed it, but I'm happy that she is starting to grow up enough that she just keeps doing what she loves. Playing soccer!
She came home from soccer practice last week asking~ "Do you know why the coach never tells me good job? Even when I make a goal he won't tell me good job, but he tells all of the other girls good job when they don't even do anything!?"
What do you say to that? It broke my heart! I know that Bailia can be hard to deal with, but to act like that?! Come on, who's the adult in this situation?
I told her to just stay positive & play hard, that you never know when another coach will be watching you, and might want to recruit you to their competitive team!
That pep talk obviously worked! She scored four goals in the first quarter! It was amazing, and SO exciting to watch. She sat on the bench the second quarter, then at halftime she begged to go back in. He told her she could be goalie, she said alright and asked in the 4th quarter to play forward again. The coach told her all of the other girls were too tired to play goalie, so she needed to stay goalie.
Bailia's not dumb, she said I knew he didn't want me to play forward, you don't get tired playing goalie, you get tired running on the field!
Sad.
But she stayed on as goalie and blocked everything that came her way! Way to go Sis, we are SO proud of you!
Koda started out the game on the bench. Just before kickoff Koda hollers "Coach, I'm ready to come in, whenever you need me to!" This is coming from the kids who used to ask to sit on the bench every chance he had! After they had to call the game, because of high winds & lightening, Koda said I can't wait until next week, I'm going to kick some butt!
