My New Title

I'm known as a lot of things: mom, wife, sister, daughter, in-law, and friend. Recently I've added a new title to my list... COACH! No, it's not a typo! I'm coaching Mad's soccer team, the Wyatt Wolves. One week before the first soccer game, the original coach realized he wasn't going to be able do it. Without a coach there would be no team. I was dreading having to tell Maddox that he wouldn't be able to play soccer. What's a mother to do? According to the Plano Youth Soccer Association website, no soccer knowledge was required - sounds like I'm perfect for the job! I called the league director and I was in. Next, I panicked! I began speed dialing family members (somehow everyone in my family, but me, plays soccer). I got some great ideas and pointers from my family (thanks guys!) and was ready for our first practice. Luckily I have a great assistant coach, who has offered to handle the games - which is great for me, because half the time the referee blows the whistle I'm not really sure what it's for!
