Well, I haven’t quite figured it out what I want the kids to call me, but that seems to be ok. Yesterday was a meeting of all the soccer coach hopefuls for the Milton Magic. I’ve now officially become a soccer coach.
For the last 2 years, Anthony has enjoyed being a soccer player. Now that doesn’t mean he knows everything about soccer, he just knows to make sure he follows where the ball goes and if he’s too tired, he offers to play goal. I have always had a lot of fun helping out the coaches in practices and in games, so I volunteered for the Milton Magic to coach this upcoming season.
Early Saturday morning there were about 60 or so coaching hopefuls in the Memorial Arena to learn a few coaching basics from the head coach of the soccer league. We had to learn a few basics, especially those like myself, who have never played the game before.
So with my bag of uniforms, lists of players and balls, I have begun the undertaking of my life…coaching kids. I’ve never done it before and it’s going to be a learning experience for me to say the least. I just hope I don’t fall flat on my face.
I’m sure you will do fine Mike.
Milton needs more parents like you, willing to stand up and help out!
It will definately be interesting to say the least. Thanks for the support!
