Achieving Her Goals

Erin's been playing on two soccer teams this spring and loving every minute of it. Kelsey has admitted that Erin has mad soccer skills, and that was never more apparent than this weekend.

Erin scored once and threatened several more times in her AYSO game yesterday, and this afternoon she narrowly missed a hat trick, scoring twice in 45 seconds of play in her Strikers game. She's a goal-oriented and driven player, and it's truly paid off.

For the past few months, with Strikers tryouts looming, Erin has focused on moving up a level for the fall season. She's been careful to make all the practices and attend free play. She's played her heart out every game. She has relentlessly worked on her footskills and passing. She's stayed focused on her end goal: moving up.

Tryouts were yesterday, and we heard that she did really well. The phone call came in this evening: she's been invited to play up with the U14s for the fall, essentially moving up 2 levels!

Congrats Erin - you've earned it!
