Sports have played a huge role in my and my family's lives, as I'm sure it has in some way for you and yours.
So, here's a place to share some of your favorite stories...I'll start...
Living, breathing, eating, and sleeping Soccer as I did when I went to school, I always thought it would be great to see a professional game; Colorado didn't have much of a soccer following in the early to mid 80's but I watched everything, from the World Cups to semi-pro games and played in quite a few matches in high school.
One day, I was practicing in the park with friends trying to decide if we should go to lunch or stick around for a while longer. We stayed and after a while, we started up another pick up game with others kicking around soccer and volleyballs in the park...
So, who should join our game but a small contingent of players from anInternational team, here on special event promotion for World soccer...
Wow!#?#?! We all quickly learned this level of play was far faster and better! We all learned a lot that afternoon! All of these players showed us everything from back kicks, wind mills, slick new passing techniques, headers, tricks, warm ups,...Amazing!
I can still feel my heart pounding from all the running around, all the great moves I tried to pick up, and the real flow of a pro-level game!
Today's game is great but I'm glad I got to see what Soccer really was at such a young age! Appreciation for any sport is always enhanced by starting it early but nothing is too late to learn to play or watch!
...never did eat lunch that day!?#?$!
