A message from Paulo to the Parents:
Not sure if everybody could hear what I was saying to our group right before the delivery of the Trophies by Liz...
I mentioned that trying to play under a style of play that I have chosen to teach them can be sometimes very complicated (and yet so simple).
As you know, the objective of my teachings is to have the soccer ball to become obedient to them, by controlling the ball near their foot, precise passing, movement with and with out the ball and awareness on the field, etc,,,by doing so, they will master the art of playing soccer..."To have the ability to transform that looks difficult, into something simple"
I mentioned to them that they have my respect and admiration for what they try to accomplish on the field. Please know that it is not common to have 12/13 years old girls mimicking what professional soccer players do.
They, of course, could take the easy way out by simply kicking the ball forward, with no good intentions behind of it but they choose not.
I have been meaning to share with you that often they are highly complimented by referees, observers, coaches and families ( that we play against) .There is a sense of admiration in their words.
Naturally, they make mistakes and won't perform their best every single game, And I am very aware that our group has a long way to go and develop (after all, they are only 13 years old girls), but one thing is for sure, when they display their best performance, you could easily charge $20,00 American dollars from the viewers to watch them, (and they would not request for their money back). I am trying to be funny.
Joke aside, I would like to thank you very much for opportunity that you offer me to teach soccer to your daughters.
Thank you!
Paulo
