The boy was a little frustrated with soccer after his practice was over tonight. I asked him what the problem was and he said “I can’t score goals.”<\/p>\n
That seemed easy to me, “Well, you have to work on your kicking.”<\/p>\n
“That doesn’t matter, I can’t score goals. I need to practice scoring goals.”<\/p>\n
Now I was perplexed. Not about the problem, but what the hell was he thinking? So I asked “Well, what do you mean you can’t score goals?”<\/p>\n
“Every time I go to kick a goal, the ball goes somewhere else.”<\/p>\n
“That’s because you’re not kicking it right. You need to practice kicking, not goal scoring. Once you learn how to kick it, you can put the ball wherever you want.”<\/p>\n
Silence from him after that. Heaven forbid he practice a little.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
