Hi fellow Sports fans,
Today I wanted to enjoy a bit that our son has gotten into soccer!
First Football / Soccer
The good thing about our son that we are incredibly grateful for is that he is quite the avid outdoors kid and loves to do all kinds of sports things. One his recent things that he's taken a big liking to is soccer! Or if you're from the rest of the world and not America, Football! Lol
We have plenty of friends that have kids and one of the biggest travesties is that they don't encourage their kids to go outside and play any longer! The kids are inside playing video games, watching TV or glued to a tablet or phone and I think that's terrible. I know that things are changing in the world that's for sure, where the sports aren't as interesting to younger people as they used to be in the past for various reasons. One thing though is that the benefits of sports are enormous!
Putting the competition notion aside, one of the best things I enjoy him playing soccer even though it's informal and only with me so far, is that it gets us both some exercise. We get far too little exercise these days that's for sure. With working a lot and even more so working remotely and me sitting at a desk, I don't get as much exercise as I used to sadly.
That has thankfully changed though with the little man! He has begged me to play soccer now and I absolutely love that. Some days it's tough if I'm tired or something but the best thing is to have him get me outside and doing things like this. It burns his energy but it also burns mine and we all know that as adults, our energy levels go down because we aren't as active as we once were!
We haven't signed him up for an official team or anything and I think it will be funny when we do because he isn't used to playing on the grass! We've thus far just been playing in our parking lot on the pavement lol and that's quite a bit different than grass. He was actually annoyed one day when we were playing on the grass because the ball wasn't flying around as fast or far as it did when we kick it on the pavement. I don't know if parking lot soccer is a thing yet but maybe we can turn it into something! LOL
