Jacob

Jacob has started to play organized soccer for the first time thru the YMCA. Now that isn't too notable expect that it is for the 9/10 team; which means most kids have played before. Jacob's soccer skills are definitely not up to par as the rest of the team and his coach is super intense but Jacob is hanging in there. The practices are totally intense and half the time he is chewing on his lip trying his best to keep up and understand. He isn't the only one, like I said the coach is super intense.
The one thing that I see in Jacob though is his coach-ability. Whenever his coach shows how to do something or instructs him what to do he does it. Now as a coach and teacher myself, I can totally appreciate his ability to take in what he is told and then immediately try to do it.
Jacob may never be the best athlete on a team but he does try hard, does his best and does what he is told. All of those characteristics will help him on the playing field and in life.
