Hard Work

High school soccer. When is it over? It can’t be soon enough. We entered the season with high hopes, and every game I still expect even better things to happen. But those hopes are shattered again and again every time we leave the field. 

When he’s not at soccer training or soccer games or footwork training, he’s reffing soccer games. He’s worked really hard this semester trying to balance school, sports, and work. He had a free afternoon last week and decided to play a pick up game with some friends. He came home holding his chest with bruised ribs. I swear he gets injured walking down the street. He’s recovered from every injury imaginable and still gives his all. I am so proud of him (and his hair).
