I was standing there. on the field in the scorching humid heat waiting for my team, legs shaking and mouth trembling “I have never done this before” “what if i do not do this right” I kept thinking to myself, like it was a real challenge. as I was searching I kept asking different teams “are you them” all of them said no until I finally found them, they were energetic running around tackling each other and hyped up for the game to happen. I didn’t talk much because when I did I stuttered and mumbled so I thought it would be best to not talk unless I had to, I started off getting them to do drills, the kids dashed off zig zagging around the cones like it was nothing, but best of all they were using teamwork. passing to one another up the field and shooting goals. they were incredible.
It was time, the game was about to start. all the players were called onto the field the two captains did paper scissors rock to see who starts,we were off to a good start my team won, I blow the whistle and its kick off. in a matter of minutes the first goal is given but it seems like the good luck has worn off, the other team was the one who scored and they went nuts about it. my team got more into the competitive side and got serious, in the first half the score was 0-1, but the kids were determined to win, the last half went quickly but luckily the team was able to bring it back to 1-1, it was the last minute and of course my team had the ball, one passed to another and he passed to one more person, the ball was in line with the goal and he kicked it, the whole field went silent it was like no one was there, it went in and it was all over, the clutch of a lifetime,
everyone went in line and shook each others hands saying good game, then after went into a huddled and did cheers, it was a good game.
