Chloe and Alex had their second soccer game today and it was AWESOME! They completely shut down the other team. They were able to dominate the field and Chloe was on fire, scoring all of the team's goals (there were so many that we lost count, and she sat out a quarter). You could hear the other parents talking about her. She is a force to be reckoned with, and this was only her second game in ANY sport. I fear for anyone who has to oppose her. As good as she was, she slid down one time, got up and told her coach she was an awful player. He just laughed and told her to get back in there.
Looking back at the photos, we figured out how she was able to dominate ball control. She taught herself this trick on the field. First, you grab the other player by the wrist ...
... then, you yank them behind you and take off with the ball. She used it to devastating effect today.
Here, you see Alex getting to kick the ball back in play. He was able to get a few assists in, and some steals. So, he had a pretty good day, but it's hard to get any time with the ball when Chloe's on fire.
