What I Learned from My Kid’s Soccer Team
Just last week I learned some lessons that all of us can take to heart and use to be more deliberate in our everyday actions.
My son was playing defense on his U-10 soccer team. They are a good team, and they all understand the responsibilities that they have. He has played defense for this year and until this year, I must say that I never understood the value of a good defender.
Then came a change. They were behind in the match 1-0 and they needed a spark. My son was moved to center-halfback to spark the team to move faster. He did his job, they moved much faster and came out with a win.
I learned this:
- Be ready to defend your position always. A great defense against adversity is an utmost priority.
- Consider this: If you need to shed a few pounds, defend yourself from temptation by not letting the cookies get near your mouth!
- Good offense begins with a great plan of attack. Make your plan and work hard to score a goal today.
- And: If you don’t shoot the ball at the goal, you’ll never score! Keep shooting all day toward your goal.
- Patience always is on the side of the well prepared. Are you well prepared?
Live and learn: then take action. Massive action!
