I can’t believe that Miss J’s spring soccer season is already over. It seems to have flown by this time. Miss J is fast and runs every second she can, which tends to result in her always being completely out of breath… and yet that doesn’t stop her! She is very determined on the field, and will be seen running ahead, and chasing every ball that goes out of bound. Her competitiveness has gotten a bit out of control this season with tears when losing and severe chastising herself when she doesn’t get a goal. It’s been a little hard for her, and we’re going to try something a bit less competitive for a bit. As a parent, it has been amusing to watch the difference between my daughter and others. Her best friend plays on her team and she is content and playful and could care less if she actually comes into contact with the ball. Miss J on the other hand is like a freak of nature out there, and her temper and desire to win is worn on her shirtsleeve – along with the mud! This was her 4th time to be on the purple team and the boys have gotten to be experts at yelling: "Go purple!" However, Mr. Man has also found out what happens when he cheers for the "other" team! Yikes! Go Purple!

I have some that pick flowers during the soccer game while they are supposed to be playing and I have some that deeply care:)
I wish there was a happy medium. It is always hard to see them lose when they want to win and work so hard to win.
My kids always seem to be on teams that continually lose:)
Sounds like a girl who has guts. I love it. She is really looking so much older.
I love how competitive she is! What a fire cracker! I am a lot like J in that I get so worked up over things that really shouldn't matter, but really feel like they do! Hard times.
