I knew Tanner would love soccer but I didn't think he would love it this much. That kid is something else on the field. He thrived in soccer. We were told from multiple coaches that he should be on the competitive team in Houston. Maybe... one day. Tanner is fast and makes lots of fast breaks towards the goal. He scored a ton for each game and loved passing it to his teammates when the coach made the rule that he couldn't score anymore. Tanner doesn't like the crowd of kids who huddle around the ball so he stays on the outside and waits for someone to kick it out. It was a joy to watch him learn new skills this season.
We went into the season thinking we'd just do fall soccer and skip spring. But that is definitely not the plan anymore. Tanner just loves it out there and has truly found his passion. He thrives in the team environment, which is so different for me. I despised working on group projects and left team sports pretty early on. Tanner has this innate sense of where his team is and what the possible options are for plays. It blows my mind how he can handle and balance it all.
