Soccer week 2 can be summed up in 2 words... well for my fam any way. HOT MESS! For the coaching part - i would say it was a successful week. I had more drills and fun activities. Even though was one upped by the field next to us who had a guy dressed light darth vadar. Not like I'm jealous or anything?! But the mask and the light saber did seem to help. lol.
Anyway for the hot mess... this time we better prepared and brought the stroller for Lola. When we arrived and put Lola in it, Greta was mad and wanted to be in it and didnt want to walk. I knew at this moment... the practice was doomed. So I carried her part of the way and then let her walk part of the way. She cried the entire time. Oh well... I persevered on.
We get to the field and now Lola is partly crying but Greta perks up when she sees her buddy Owen from school. And even kicked the ball with him before practice started.
Practice started... I call the kids out. And Greta participated... until another kid held my hand to keep his balance when practicing rolling the ball. She didn't like this. But I persevered on!
Then practice when on. Kids having fun. Me having fun. Lola screaming. Greta crying. But still I persevered on.
Then the end for Greta came after I put the comes out and she tried to pick them all up but I said no. She had an all out meltdown. I just picked her up. Put her in the chair and still I preserved on!
The rest of the hour was spend having fun for me. Lola cried the rest until I finally held her and did the drills. Greta never stopped crying until the snack came out. She was maybe really that hungry.
But I persevered! And conquered week 2. I have a plan for week 3 to get Greta to play.
