I coach Under 11 girls in the home of football (Northern England in case you were wondering).

From the outside it may (very slightly) look like I know what I’m doing. On the inside, no way, I’m just trying to control the handstands and the cartwheels…

Ha! So you get it! Honestly, it’s really hard to resist a cartwheel with all that open space. Who wouldn’t! 🤸

Thanks for reading, and good luck with the rest of your season, coach!

My toddler grandkids have had the same soccer coach from ages 2 - 6 and I've wondered over and over how she has the patience to do it (especially in Vegas where the temperature often hovers around 110 degrees). You're very brave, lol, but ultimately l think your son will remember this very fondly!

Oh man - I can't even imagine ages 2-6. I bet some things are easier, some more difficult... Brave is one word. Foolish another. Perhaps they go hand-in-hand.

Yes - this little season is going to be one for the books. We will laugh and cry and reminisce forever.

Hahah I’ve worked as a teacher and camp counselor and yes. This is very very painfully accurate.

Fully in awe. 🙌 My visual ref is: it’s giving the mom at the soccer game in Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause. You know that scene, with the baseball cap and the T and jeans? 🎯🔥

Hahaha Omg this is such a perfect and specific and niche reference. YES. Exactly. You get me.
