| I miss this! The joy and the laughs! |
Coaching soccer was good for me. It helped me to
focus on something other than school and life. It helped me to be discipline. I
was so much healthier while coaching soccer. I was so much more self-discipline
and productive! It helped me gain my confidence again. It brought me closer to
God- who I relied on for everything during the season.

Coaching soccer was good for me. It allowed me
to go beyond knowing just the elementary students in my school, but now I know
some of the high school girls. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and humbled
me when I had to ask for help so many times. It stretched me when I had to make
decisions and figure out what was best for my team. It opened my eyes again to
what it is like to be in high school and the issues that high schoolers deal
with every day.
It is hard to believe that our incredible season
is over. My girls went undefeated in their season being #1 in conference and
then they went on to victory winning first place in tournament. These Lady
Conquerors went against the odds of having only 12 players and 3 who had never
played soccer before to being champions with grace. Being a coach to these
ladies was a huge blessing and lifesaver in my life. As you know moving to Korea has been a hard
transition, but God has continue to be so faithful through it all providing me
with just what I need at the right time and this spring He provided me with 12 high
school girls to coach. I would have never guessed that this would have
happened, but I am so thankful it did. I would not trade the past two months
for anything. These ladies taught me so much about the importance of teamwork, encouraging
one another, playing for the glory of God, never giving up, and finding the
strength to push through all things, goal making and what it means to love
unconditionally! I learned so much through this season and I am excited to say
that I will be coaching again next season! J

ability to play.

Creating goals as a team and
individually before each and every game

Beautiful sunny days of practice

Soccer was so so so good for me! I am so
thankful for each thing that I learned through the season and I am excited for
next year because it can only get better with changes! J This is one thing that I have
learned as a first year teacher and coach- changes are always good! Thank you,
God, for giving me this amazing opportunity and allowing me to learn so much
through it! I am one happy coach!
