Soccer MADNESS!!!

Miagen played his first soccer game this weekend and it was all the fun that soccer is meant to be. His first practice was at 2:30 and the game was at 3:00. SO as you can imagine the team was good. They only lost 5-1. Miagen was quick and athletic, but forgot which way the goal was and thought he was playing football (Amercina). I think he pancaked everyone on the other team and half of his own team. He thought it was great to go flying in to the nest of kids and tackle them (Americana). He has been practicing all week and I got him a futbol (Mexicana) this week to practice the next few weeks.

WATCH OUT REAL!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rex Kennedy expirement!

Yes it is football season once again and I have found a home with my old coaches Rex Kennedy and Bob Taylor coaching for the Alta Jr. team.

Dave has been helping me or I think it is supposed to be the other way around. It's fun to get back into coaching even though I thought at first we had the only team of all dyslexic kids. You tell them left they go right. You say 4 hole and they manage to all in unison go left. I was pretty frustrated with them.

Our offense is run in a very "fluid" fashion to say the least. If something isn't right the play just gets an "option" thrown in with it. It was kind of comical last night. Rex had to leave to weigh in a kid, so I ran the offense. I had no clue what his formations were so I left that up to the quarter back and just told them the type of play they should run. We were the most successful I had seen in any scrimmage yet and the kids knew it too. I finally saw some progress. Rex came back and things stalled again. I think he had secretly gone to Andy Ludwig's house for some pointers!

Go Utes!
