This month my church basketball started. My dad is the coach which is nice because he used to coach me when I was young in soccer. This is probably the last time my dad will ever coach a sports team I play for. Church basketball is great because people who play for a club or a school are not allowed to play. This makes it a lot of fun because it is mostly just athletic girls that want to try something new. Our first two games we did not have enough people so we had to forfeit them. We still got to play but it did not count on the record and we had to borrow one of the players younger sisters. The next week we had enough players and the score was really close 32-24. I enjoy playing because it is new experience for me and its fun to be on a team with some girls I do not get to see as much. Hopefully we will continue to grow as a team and have fun during the rest of the season.

Last week Grimsley women's soccer officially began. The seniors lead the first "play around" which is a pre-season practice where anyone is welcome to come scimmage. I was happily surprised because we had 25 players come out. It was harder than I thought it would be to lead because a bunch of talkative high school girls can be difficult to get their attention. Overall everyone was really good though. I showed leadership skills by setting everything up, cleaning up, and giving instruction. Also, I helped people that came that did not know how to do some of the training drills we were doing. I am really looking forward to this spring soccer season because not only do I get a lot of exercise, I will get to be a senior leader. I am hoping to learn a lot about leadership and being a good teammate.
