Coach

Coached soccer last night for the first game of the year. I have coached in a men’s division, I have coached teens. This year I coach 3 and 4 year olds. No point in informing them about the lines on the field, the direction of the goal or the opportunity to pass. Chase the ball in a mass. Thirty minute game, two-thirds of the way into which half my team is on the side lines having quality time with Mom or Dad. Maybe four understood the concept of the goal.
