Austin just started his 3rd season of soccer. He really enjoys playing and it's fun to watch. During the game this weekend the coach told him it was his turn to sit out and let another little boy come and play and Austin refused to leave the field because he loves playing so much and wanted to stay in the game. I did finally coax him off the field and tried to explain that each person on the team has to sit out part of the game so that everyone gets a chance to play (even thought he already knows this since it is his 3rd season). I'm just happy that he loves it and wants to play. What I love about it is the relationship he builds with his coaches. He does not have very many men in his life to be role models and I enjoy seeing him interact with his coaches and watching him learn from them. I'm glad we can find a way for him to have role models to look up to.
