Ben lost his grand final on the weekend in a very close. The other team scored in the final minute of extra time. Ben handled the loss really well. We had a talk before the game where I told him that despite the outcome that we were going to celebrate after the event. When they scored Ben ran straight to the goalie to tell him that it was OK. He was a graceful loser!! I think is just as important to know how to lose. It was a really good game. Ben's team were doing all of the attacking however they let a ball through in the end. Them the breaks. We went to the park afterwards to celebrate and all of the kids had an absolute ball. Ben was awarded with two certificates. One was for being the one that trains the most consistently and the other was for "Overall Best in Attack and Defence." I thought that they were both appropriate as he trains really hard and he is all over the field. It was a really good season. Ben had his old coach watching him for the last two games and as he walked off the field his old coach was trying to sign him up for next season. Ben is really happy where he is so he will probably stay with the Robbins.
So we now get a rest because the season is over BUT only for a week or two as he has already signed up for Summer Season.
Love to All of the Soccer Mums out there,
