*Rock Star*


Our daughters a Rock Star - serious Rock Star! She's been playing soccer on the Purple Tornadoes for a couple of years, and Chris coaches these amazing girls -- Its like they woke up and realized what soccer is all about this year! The fact that Haley is good at any sport is amazing - not that she cant do it - but because she's my daughter - and I wouldn't be what you call athletic...at all. BUT she IS. Our girls are 7-1 awesome! And, bonus for them - Coach Chris hasn't thrown his Starbucks at all this season (again - yeah, winner moment :)

Chris put Haley in as goalie a couple of games ago - at first I thought - well, we'll see how this goes... she's a girls girl - likes her nice clothes, playing with her babies, pretty hair, dirt's not her fancy - braces + ball = no good. You get where I'm going, right? I don't know what happened to her, but once she hit that goal box she transformed into this Rock Star - blocking EVERY ball (they were a good team too!) Attacking each ball if it even came close to her carefully guarded goal - throwing her body on the ball - not caring is a flying foot is inches from her face. So far she hasn't let one ball passed her - now the pressures on (for me) I am now totally nervous for her at each game. She loves it - she's proud of herself - she's a fearless girl, with a new sense of pride in herself!
Can't help but think this guys totally hot when he's coaching these girls! :)
Half time pep-talk
Check out that face!
