So Spring Break started. Technically it doesn't start until Monday, but whatever. This Spring Break my family and I are going to Miami, Marathon Key and Key West, in like 6 days. The kicker is that we leave on Wednesday night, and don't come back until Tuesday! Yes! Score! I miss two days of school!. The problem is that our first school soccer game is one Tuesday, and I am the only goalie. We sort of have a bad coach though. He lets us scrimmage too much and doesn't let me practice playing goal. I mean scrimmaging is fun, it beats running drills, and it's helpful when he stops play to teach us something, but we do like 4v4 scrimmages, and that's not very game-like. Plus, we've had one day of shooting. I spent like 90 minutes straight in goal on a friday like 2 weeks ago, and that's all the practice I've had. I keep asking him if I can borrow someone to just kick a ball at me while I have gloves on. He goes no, do this drill we are all doing. And it's some scrimmage or drill that improves footwork and ball handling skills. I don't need to be able to use my feet as well as a forward! I get to use my hands! Let me improve that! If I had to step into goal on next Tuesday (like I'm supposed to) I would not feel prepared at all. Plus, I don't think anyone knows what positions they're playing. The coach is good, I just think he mismanaged his time, and now we're officiall the most unprepared team in history. That's all for now.
