I thought he wouldn't have the taste for it

His first game. It was great fun to see him. I thought he would stand around, pick at the grass be disinterested, but the kid was a defensive animal. I'm telling you, I'll bet he caused 4 or 5 kid pile ups, running head long into the packs of kids coming towards the goal he was defending, running up from beside them and kicking the ball away. When I say it was great fun I'm not kidding. I really enjoyed it.

In fact, if he plays again I think I'd like to coach. On defense I give him a 9 out of 10. On offense he needs to learn how to dribble. Compared to the other kids he's just like them, but once he gets it I think he'll do well.

I mean wow, what fun. What a change.
