My two boys. Coach Tock in red, and Ollie boy in green– wearing #8.
I’ll just be honest ( because a blog of lies is lame) I signed Tock up to coach Oliver’s team without asking him (and Lila’s, but that was kind of an accident) because I knew his presence would help with Oliver’s confidence. Turns out, Oliver doesn’t really need to have his dad as the coach in order to have confidence on the soccer field. When I watch him play, my heart bursts just a little bit. He’s not the best player on the team, but he plays the game the same way he lives his life– with courage and spirit and a never ending desire to please others.
Also, he still waves to me from the field.
