Teamwork

The last two days have been great on the soccer field. Yesterday I had to wait a while to play before the other teams got off the field. We play to three goals, and then the next team comes out. Many times the next team will recycle a few of the previous team's players. When my team finally got to play we were on fire.

Most guys haven't played soccer before, so they just kick the ball wherever it pings off their foot. A few guys are good players, but they are selfish, trying to all-star through everyone and losing the ball most of the time. The team that I played with had a few of the former, more of the latter, and mostly a third type - the players who know the game and use their team to put the ball in the net.

Both yesterday and today we used teamwork - crisp passes, accurate crosses and clear communication - to put the ball in the net repeatedly. That was the first time that I wasn't frustrated with how my teammates played. I'm so excited to play with capable an cooperative teammates.
