So Alex has been playing soccer since he was probably 4 or 5 years old. Up until last year he almost exclusively played defender but at the beginning of the year he was moved up to Midfielder. He did OK for his first year, but he was still pretty timid and only took a few errant shots on goal. Over the summer he worked on his footwork, passing and dribbling skills. Today at the first game of the school year he had 4 shots on goal, 3 assists and 2 Goals! Of course the game was a bit of a blowout for his team, but it’s a great first start for building his confidence for the rest of the season. We are all very proud of what he has accomplished. Now if we can work on the grades and the 3 point shot for basketball season we will be in great shape! 🙂
