I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE THAT GIRL #3

Since discovering the world of tennis in the 7th grade I have not explored many other sports. When I was a young girl I attempted to play a few sports including; softball, soccer, gymnastics, and dance. I had no natural talent in any of the above sports but I enjoyed the competition. (My juniors tennis coach always said I had NO natural talent at tennis either... but I worked harder and had more heart than any other girl who walked on the same court as me.) My soccer career ended immediately after the 1st season in grade school. I got confused about switching directions half way through the game, I was afraid of the ball and I was more worried about how fat my legs looked with shin-guards on. (So what did I turn to? Tennis.... a sport where a small rock solid ball flies at your face instead of your feet and at quadruple the speed of a large soccer ball and court rotations happen after every single game..... what was I thinking?) Needless to say, I haven't really touched a soccer ball since 2nd grade. I only dated boys that played the sport and I really only watched the game to see cute, sweaty guys run back and forth. The same reason I go to the REAL games now!

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE THE GIRL WHO: Loves to play Indoor Soccer! Kday and I went to an indoor field with our friends last weekend and my stomach was filled with butterfly's, I didn't know where to stand or what to do with the ball when it came my direction. But I am damn competitive and I wasn't going to let those boys beat me. I sucked, except for the beginners luck goal assist that I made, but I couldn't get off the field! I haven't had the stamina to play a sport like soccer before and I really loved it. I am hoping to take some sort of lessons from my friends who know something about the sport and add soccer to my current list of League Sports I'm participating in. Tennis, Volleyball, and now Soccer! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LOVE SO MANY SPORTS, OR BE FIT ENOUGH AGAIN I love my new lease on life!
