Nate VS Soccer

Nate loves his soccer team. Unfortunately, he tends to get frustrated because he doesn't play as well as some of the older kids. Practices and game days were becoming a nightmare. Nate would complain that his legs hurt, he was tired or he was hungry, pretty much anything he could think of so he wouldn’t have to participate. Too date, he has not played an entire quarter; usually giving up after the first minute or two (the quarters only last 5 minutes) of the game. Our friends Diana and Eric had the same problem with their daughter (and Nate’s future wife) Aubree. They purchased a soccer net and had her practice with it. Ingenious! We had been working with Nate but only by kicking the ball around the yard. We borrowed my mom’s soccer net and had Nate practice with it. Wow, what a difference! Last night was his first soccer practice since the new “training” began and he did amazing. He actually participated the entire time and is looking forward to tonight’s game! Go Nathan!!!!!!! Thanks to the Griggs family for the wonderful advise!
