I learned that I can not hide my talent of playing goalie.
Two Friday ago, I decided not to say anything about goalie. I want to run! BURN my Friggin Calories! Coach S asked me if I could play goalie - I acted like I'm awkard with it... He decided to put me defense area (whew...)
Last Friday, we were short of players. Coach S put me as goalie - I told him that I NEED goalie gloves! He was puzzled that I said that : In my mind said "SH-T!" One of players lended me her goalie gloves. (too small but doesnt matter). It ripppppppeeedddd (oops). Other team players couldn't get into the goal. (SHUTOUT!) That was important to us! :o) Other team players - Good Team! But I made it through. Whew... Coach S smiled and said - you played well... why avoid to play as goalkeeper? I nodded and said "but..... I want to run!!! thats why I'm trying to avoid to play goalie." Not many people know that I loved soccer and was in deaf all-american for 5 years row (8th to 12th grade). Yet softball is now my favorite sports. :o)
I got a "hopefully" good news that one of players might come back and she is a goalkeeper. She told coach S that she will play either first half or second half as she has to take care of her son. Pray!!! I want to run... I want to burn calories... I'm not fond of joggning by myself. Ironic, I am not fond of having someone jog with me - most of them are fast! If I have to play as goalie, I guess I will have to jog by myself or with Nanabear...

I love soccer and have been thinking about getting onto a team, but both my boys play so I think it would be too hard with three games a week and 6 practices.
Good job ! You are SO butch ! :)
Very proud of you.
I agree, it's nice to be forced to run. Me, I'd rather not run....I'd also rather not get hit in the face, head, or any part of my body with a flying soccer ball :) that's just me !
Good luck !
Nice job!
I was goalie for all of my high school years and probably could have played in college if I didn't go the tennis route! I picked it then because I didn't have to run!! LOL
