September 13, 2003 on 8:52 pm | In Main |Sean’s first soccer game was today. Unfortunately, Sean didn’t play. I think the crowd scared him. The school we went to was holding t-ball and flag football games as well as soccer. Over a thousand people were on the fields of the school. The coach wanted to start Sean, but he didn’t want to play. I figured, no problem. He could watch the game, then go in later. As soon as play started, he wanted to go play. He didn’t understand that he had to wait for someone to leave the field before he could go back in. When it was his turn to go back in again, he didn’t want to. The coach even asked Sean to kick the ball off to start the second half, but he wouldn’t even do that, even with me standing on the field. Even though this was frustrating, we don’t want to put too much pressure on Sean, to the point where he doesn’t enjoy playing. Sean wasn’t the only one who didn’t want to play. Even the coach’s son, who played most of the game, just stood still, and didn’t go after the ball. Our team only had three players, plus the goalie, who had any interest in the game at all. I think the coach was more frustrated than we were.
