This is it... Sam's very first soccer game! Her team was able to get 2 practices in before this game and I don't think Sam really had any concept of what games were really going to be like. I honestly think she thought that games were like practices, but only on Saturday's and with a bunch of other girls. The field. The running. The sweat. She was beat after this game! But in true Samantha fashion, she ROCKED! Especially since this was only her first game in her life and she was the least experienced on her team; all the other girls have played for 1 or 2 years already and not to mention that she is also the youngest, but far and the smallest player on her team. One might think that with all this against her she might buckle and throw her hands in the air in frustration... but not my girl! Thankfully she got her 'can-do' attitude from her Dad.
I don't think Scott stopped grinning from ear to ear the entire game; he was soooo proud of her. She did such an amazing job and kept right at it with all the bigger, tougher girls. No one believed us when we told them this was her first game... we can thank her Dad for that, too. He is so awesome at getting her out in the yard and practicing as much as possible. He is great at motivating her and showing her techniques that will help her. He is such a great Dad!! Way to go Sammy!
