My soccer star

Cuckoo!

 

To Max life is at the moment all about the ball!

Strangely enough not about the academics:)

Five days a week ( sometimes six) including two games he is completely absorbed by that sport. 

In rain or sunshine, hot or cold he is always ready to get out there for a play date with a ball. 

Does he ever complain?

NEVER!

He loves it!

 

 

He was lucky to be chosen to play in the varsity team at school even though he does not have the age for it. 

I think the coach saw the passion Max has for it and maybe some potential and decided to take advantage of it.

 

 

He is fast , technical proficient and passionate!

 

 

He has been playing soccer for many years but was never really able to develop his skills but mainly maintain them. 

Being a part of that whole machinery in a team of older players was the ignition he needed to take that step forward. 

 

 

He is much more aggressive in his playing now and does not give up that easily. 

 

 

Not only does he benefit from playing with older boys, most of them also have driving licences. 

Which means he is no longer dependent on his mom for pick ups...(gulp)

That is just giving his mom hick ups...( haha I do have a poetic vein)

But i think it is kind of scary with boys and driving...

 

 

But I will still be there watching!

Cheering, encouraging and applauding. 

Sharing their loss (many) and their wins ( not so many)

 

To see the look in his eyes when he is playing,

to see his feet fooling around with that ball and 

to recognise someone for being in his  right place. 

That is worth everything!

Early mornings, late nights, smelly socks and cleats everywhere!

Ill do it all over again!

 

Im so proud of my own little blond soccer star!

According to the girls the blond also definitively counts:))

Tror det är viktigt att få vara med i ett lag. Ser på mina barn vad roligt dem har på plan och utanför. Nån sa till mig 'måste ni följa med på alla cuper o sånt". Nej - men det är ju så roligt att följa dem. Inte för att jag nånsin varit intresserad av sport - men det är ju stor skillnad när "stjärnorna" är ens egna. Då vill man se så mycket som möjligt. Men trots 10 år på läktarna har jag inte lyckats fatta varken off-side eller andra regler. Ser dock när det blir mål, (ialla fall nästan alltid) kramis

Så bra du är Max, jag bara visste det
