P365 - 2013 - Day 306 - Number 9


P365 - 2013 - Day 306 - Number 9

That's my girl.  Number 9 - center midfield - goal scorer.  She's fast, she's got moves, and when she has the ball very few can get close enough to try to stop her.  I never played soccer.  I never played any sport... I was a cheerleader....and no offense to my fellow cheerleaders, but I found as I got older that I was a frustrated athlete.  I never thought I could be an athlete when I was younger.  I was too intimidated to even try.  But as I got older, I started to feel like I missed out.  So I have encouraged my daughter to play team sports since she was little.  Both My Wonderful Husband and I have encouraged her, he has coached her, and we continue to cheer her on.  I think sports build confident, well rounded girls and that is what I want for my daughter.  I tell her all the time..."Go out there and play like a girl.  Show everyone what girls can do."  and she does just that.  She's one tough cookie and she is unstoppable on the soccer field and I love to watch her play!  After missing a few of her games this season, I was very happy to be there today and watch her score two goals in a 7-1 win.  That's my girl.  I love that Number 9!
