There have been seasons where he was a key player for the team, a season where he sat out a lot, a few seasons where his team won almost every game and a season where his team was lucky to even win one, through it all though Jake always played.
Jake has finished games even after being hurt in the first quarter and once played with a sprained wrist (hiding it from the coach of course), this boy is dedicated and all heart when it comes to the game.
He seems to leave it all out on the field because win or lose he just loves to play, I guess some people are just born with it.
Ah, enthusiasm... I remember it well.
ReplyDeleteGo, Jake, go!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was on the city soccer team a few years ago-- a crucial game. I had a c-section just a month or so before. I was in a lot of pain but we had no subs. I don't know where I dug up the energy to keep going but I did. It was a personal triumph--even if the team lost. (=

That's dedication, way to go for him! My son took a soccer class and said he doesn't want to play anymore because everybody kept trying to take the ball from him, so team sports isn't his thing.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like quite the athlete. You must be very proud.
