Soccer Star


Someone charge me with abuse, I signed my son up for soccer. What kind of horrible parent am I? I wanted to him to have fun and make friends. What was I thinking?

Jordi played soccer last year and it did not go so well. But I thought after a year to grow and mature he would be ready to play again. He can play. Just not with the other kids. He plays great during half time when no one is on the field except him, but he refuses to go out on the field with the other kids. When the coach asks him to play he replies "I'm busy." Busy doing what you might ask. Climbing the bleachers, looking for worms, anything to avoid soccer. Thank goodness that another soccer mom was there to inform that Jordi had not improved since last year. Really, I didn't know that. I have seen some improvement. He has went from laying on the grass to climbing the bleachers. Who knows? By the end of the season he may be actually on the field. I don't care if he plays (or at least I tell myself that) I just want him to interact with the other kids. We will see what tomorrow brings.
