Any time I talked about a sport I could feel her eyes roll back. <br /><br />Second, I also have a son that is a goalie but in the best sport, hockey, and he always beats himself up when scored on, even well into adulthood. She should take heart, our other son played forward against his brother and always rubbed in when he scored. Try dealing with that!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472781055373633410.post-39462045406677015692010-04-21T01:27:12.655-07:002010-04-21T01:27:12.655-07:00Watching Barley let in the 2 goals he's allowe...Watching Barley let in the 2 goals he's allowed so far has been very difficult--mostly because I knew how brutal he would be on himself about letting his team down. On one goal, he had no chance...but there was that one where he just didn't bend over and pick it up, oh boy! Still he's really getting pretty good at it, and it's wonderful to see him take to the new challenge so eagerly! Another Dad expressed his admiration for how Barley was verbally directing his defensive players on their positioning. It's the perfect combination--he gets to play soccer and be bossy at the same time!DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084610136566791231noreply@blogger.com
