Lost Lessons of Soccer


So I havent played official organized soccer in probably 8 years. I have played pick up games here and there but nothing full on. I joined an indoor team, made up from the fabulous people in my singles ward. Last night was the first game I played in (haha I missed the first team game). There are many lessons about me and soccer I learned last night. Not sure how I forgot them.

They are:
- Taking out guys twice your size is way fun
- Soccer uses much different muscles the running (ouch is what I said this morning)
- You can be afraid of being hit or hitting people, balls, walls, etc.
- Reffs dont always know what their talking about
- Team sports are easier with a coach
- Subbing is nice
- Girls can take out guys
- Guys should not back off on taking out girls, sorry but I think thats wimpy and sexest (dont ask)
- There is no need for appologies on the field
- Random bruises show up all the time when playing soccer
- Defense is the best!!
- Much, much more

#1 LESSON:
I am overly competitive!! When I get mad its hard to back down. When a player seems tuff I cant help but take them out.

Man I love soccer!!
