This is my daughter Ju Ju. She's been playing soccer since September and she got the first medal in her team for being a great team player. Her team "Eagles" has not won any game, but Ju Ju always tries her best. Actually, she's the only one who scores goal (well, actually two other girls have scored one goal each). The first time they played, their team lost the game against Tigers 1-6. The second time they played, Eagles lost against Tigers 2-6. Third game, they lost again to Tigers 2-5. Fourth game, they lost again to Tigers 3-6. Then last time, again they lost 4-6 of which Ju Ju scored all four goals and most of the goals in the past for her team.
She always gets disappointed that her team hasn't won the game and she tell me, "Mama, my team will never going to win.." - but then, I tell her, "Remember what did your coach say?" And she answers, "It's not about winning or losing, it's about having fun!!" with a HUGE smile on her face.
She honestly tells me playing soccer has been the best thing she's ever done in her life, and that she can't stop thinking about the next game after the game. Sometimes, she tries to picture herself playing well in her head when she goest to sleep. She really loves it.
I never imagined that I would wake up early on Saturday morning being a soccer mom, but I truly enjoy getting up and watch my daughter play with her friends. Her coach is a great person and I'm grateful that he's taught her something that's very important in her life: patience and endurance.
I love my daughter.... I'm proud of her...
Go Ju Ju! Go Eagles! Let's win this Saturday!
Have a Cozy Weekend.

Awww... I am so glad she's having fun, it really looks like she's delighted to be out there! It's a great thing you are doing - it's teaching her to be active, how to be a team player, and social skills, so it's so awesome that you are so supportive of her!
That is awesome that she loves it so much! I played soccer when I was younger too and just loved it! I played forward too! Go Ju Ju!

So adorable! I remember playing soccer when I was that young - the uniform shirts being so big they looked like dresses! Wonderful pictures! I bet you make a great soccer mom :)
I'm glad you aren't the type to freak out about their kids not being competitive
