I think I might be a bad luck charm for my daughter’s soccer team, which might not be so bad if I wasn’t also a coach for the team. You see the girls played one of our “big” games today against one of our sister teams in Twin City Youth Soccer (Challenge) U-15 and I missed it due to helping with the prep for my church’s BBQ (see prior post). Since I’ve been involved with the team we’ve never beaten one of our sister teams…until today. Not only did we beat the Lady Gold 2-1 (we’re the Lady Reds) I hear that the girls played the best as a unit that anyone has seen them play. The last time I missed a game my daughter scored a goal in another win. Heck, the game I missed last season she scored two goals in a win. See a pattern here?

Tomorrow we play the Lady Royals, our other sister team, and I’m thinking I may need to stay home.
