This is the second year my grandson will be playing soccer. When he played last year it was a total bust. Christian didn’t seem to like running around the field with the team. He would just walk around, on the field, acting like he has no idea why he was in the park, and running after a ball that you cannot even pick up with your hands. He was confused to say the least.
But this year. Olala! Christian grasped the game and understood that in the game of soccer you don’t use your hands just your feet on the ball.
We were all so happy to watch him play the game. And he impressed us with his soccer ball moves. 
Now his position as the goalie was something to watch. He truly understood that the ball cannot go past him and into the net. Christian’s focus was all in the play of the game. No way was that ball going to roll into that net, you could just see it in his face.
“Kick it Christian, kick It!” We all screamed.
“Come on Christian, kick the ball!!!”
And without losing his balance or train of thought, he picked up his little leg and KICK…right out goes the ball. No score here today. Who knew! Who knew that this little guy would be a powerful goalie. His mom told me he scored two goals in the last two games.
We all scratched our heads. We just could not understand how he made a three hundred and sixty degree turn around in playing this soccer. But I do have my guess about how or why he had improved. See, he likes one of his team mates. Savannah is her name. Christian is very happy that Savannah is playing, and playing on his team.
Is he Impressing his new found friend? I think so. Yup, Savannah got Christian to be best at his game…I always knew it took a women to make a man. GOOOAAL!
