Folsom Soccer Club had their soccer seeding tournaments this weekend. Basically we played five 15 minute games over the course of five hours. We’re on a bigger field this year, have one more player on the field and more rules will be enforced. It’s going to be interesting – we actually faired pretty well in the tournament, most games were decided by one point.
Christian, as I told him, did really well. He was aggressive to the ball, mixed it up and, yes, fell down a lot. In the first game when he fell down he just kind of stayed there, but between the games I talked to him and said unless you’re bleeding or really, really hurt then you need to get up and keep playing. And I’ll be damned, he listened to me!! That alone is a victory, but to see him play the other four games, fall down and actually get up and keep playing was a great change! He can play when he wants to, that’s never been an issue, but getting up after falling down is HUGE for Christian!!
