And so it was that last week ended my short, yet incredibly "successful" career as coach of PK13, also known as the Blue Jays. Though it saddens me to see this come to an end, I have so many memories to take with me. Holding the hands of cute little Brexlyn and Eli that gave me flashbacks to Sarah's first year. My squad of super three year old boys that were so excited to get the ball that they would steal it from each other as much as the opposing team. Spending each game encouraging my son to kick the ball, and being completely ignored. ;) Giving lots of high fives and shouting Ra, Ra, Ra Blue Jays. Giving stink eyes to the coach that stood in front of our goal and blocked our kids just because we were "winning." Having my friend tell me her son was playing soccer in the backyard and before kicking the ball said, "this ones for you Liz." Getting to watch Sarah score four goals in the first two games and telling me how happy she was that I got to be her coach.
I'm not sure if I'll check the assistant coach box again, but I had a ton of fun coaching my kids this year and am grateful the other parents didn't seem to mind either.
Here is a picture of our team. A couple kids were missing, and one refused to be in it, but we had Corbin, Sarah, Eli, Steven, Malcolm, Dax and Brexlyn. (not pictured, Cohen, Chris, Ethan) The coach gets their own picture, so my dad and niece Angelina joined us.
Here is Sarah
And Steven- You may notice a difference in his attitude between the group picture and his single picture. I bribed him.
If you're ever bored, and want some excitement in your life, check the little box. :)
