Soccer was something new we added to our agenda this fall. It was quite an adventure to say the least. Greer was pretty entertaining and a handful at times. Our coach was the best you can get. He was so patient and soft spoken with the children, and dedicated too! I watched him carry crying three year olds back to the court several times. He always got on their level and often sat on the floor with them. I watched him "coach" the children who actually wanted to learn while he herded the rest of the children back in the game. He was always there early to get the court ready for game time and almost always sporting a whistle(which he rarely even had to use). I'm proud to say this amazing coach is Jeremy! I've seen him be patient with our children, but I have never seen him work so well with a group of children like this. I love this man and love the fact that we share a family together! Looking forward to many more sporting events in the future. I just hope maybe next time our own child will take the game more serious. As for this season, his behavior consisted of throwing himself on the floor while laughing, running into other children, waving at me on the sidelines, crying, eating during the game, and mostly just running with the flow of traffic, but never really trying to go near the ball. I'm pretty sure there were not any goals scored on his behalf, but at least he is familiar with the game for next fall.
I must add that Jeremy was so excited to find Greer a soccer suit of his own.
