I succeeded!

Tonight- I had a great conversation with a friend on the phone:)  I really feel like I succeeded:) with turning one little girl - into a girl who likes Hockey!

A 9 year old girl, on my field hockey team, told her mom this:
"I always want to be wing- and I never really want to be half back.  I'm really good at halfback- so now I'm going to concentrate on being THE BEST HALFBACK EVER!"

This MADE my night!  All these kids want to play- offense, offense, offense.  Like Defense is some horror house- no one want to go there.  Granted some are better in D-- some better in offense.  3/4's into the season- you really can start to watch these girls. See where their talents are- where they need work.  I really love love love coaching these girls. It's a lot of fun!!!  We are still undefeated- which is pretty cool.  yeah- a big giant gush to my ego :wink:  but it's cool for them.  They play well together.  They communicate, pass the ball nicely- and starting to dodge- and are over-all having a good time with this.  I'm 'in'.. In for the long haul:)
