A Kind Moment

I have probably witnessed the most....Well, I don't want to call it 'cute' or 'adorable'......Well, I'll just explain it.

We have akid on our soccer team named Kyle and he's been out for a month or so because of an ankle injury and he was able to play today in the last tournament until March. Now, with about five minutes into the first half, Kyle scored him first goal since his injury. He ran straight from where he scored to Daniel (the coach I was talking about. Ends up his name is spelled 'Daniel' not 'Danielle') and gave him a hug. I thought this was a sweet moment because Daniel hugged him back and, I guess, told him 'welcome back'. Our goalie's dad even said he wouldn't have hugged Kyle if he came up to him. I was, well, moved by this action. Daniel ovbiously cares for our team like his own kids. My mom even said 'How are you going to take away a coach that would hug his players?' He even jokes around with the players. I'll give you an example.

One game, Logan, an important defensive player for our team, yelled out to the team to remember to breath (as in through the nose and out through the mouth). Kevin, the capitain of the team, ran around to the players during the game and told them 'If you forget how to breath, ask Logan. He'll tell you.' Daniel found about this and know pokes fun at Logan.

But, back to Kyle. When we, as a team, went out to eat at a buffet place a mile or two down the road, Daniel even CONGRADULATED him on is goal. Three other people had scored goals but Kyle's had mattered more since it was his first time back. Kyle's goal then, for me, probably rivaled the time when one of our players walked the ball up to the goal line, turned around, and kicked it in backwards before the goalie got back to his post. I think that game we won 14-0.

But, we're still going to Spain in July. No one, not even our soccer orgainization, can stop me, and the team, from going.
