It's hard to know how to introduce your kids to sports, especially team sports. You never know how they will respond, if they'll jump right in or run kicking and screaming off the field. Back in the spring, Anselmo was hired to help coach some kids for the county soccer league. It was perfect timing to expose Dawson to the game.
Here's what went down.
First pep talk by the coaches.
Showing off his moves.
The boy has got some skills.
And a temper...
"Are you kidding me? That was not a foul! Unbelievable!"
He charges the coach.
"Hey man. Go easy on your dad. It's his first day."
"Come on, Dad. Put me back in. Look, I can even hold the ball over my head. You need me out there."
Ok. Let's see what you got.
He's a natural.
All kidding aside, we had some great moments. And, the coach is awesome. He is so great with the kids, not to mention incredibly cute! And Dawson, he would run laps AROUND the field if we let him. He doesn't care much for what is going on ON the field. I captured the first 10 minutes he was out there and then we were negotiating staying at the park or packing our things up to go home. We sat the next few practices out, but eventually made it back...and he surprisingly loved it. So maybe we'll try it again, hopefully sooner than later.
And then there's this little one.
He's happy just being there cheering on his dad and brother.
Me included.
