Humbled

Sunday was a great example for me how through struggle we grow and learn.

During our soccer game we played a team that was awesome.  They were well prepared, motivated, and had a tremendous amount of fun during the game.  The team I coach had a little different spirit going on.  We were hungry, a little tired, and the coach wasn't prepared well or able to adjust well during the game.  I had our team stay in an aggressive attacking posture even though time after time it didn't work out well for us.  Only late in the game did I realize the need to shift strategy and in doing so the impact to the team.  We began to play a more defensive style and it had moments of brilliance.

I learned to be willing to change sooner and to make sure that I am aware how much fun the team is having.  Ultimately the fun is the most important part.
