Marc's First Soccer Game

Marc played his first soccer game yesterday. He had lots of fun in the warm-ups.

When he wasn't picked to play in the first shift, he got upset and didn't want to play anymore. Of course, he didn't tell me why he didn't want to play until almost half time.Once we figured out why he didn't want to play, he had fun. He played goal for the first part of the second half and made several good saves.

At the end of the game he was very upset because he didn't score any goals. I have no idea where this came from. I finally told Marc that I almost never scored goals when I played hockey as a kid. He said, "Why not?" I said, "I was a terrible hockey player." This seemed to make him happier.
