1st February 2017 Post

This February has been crazy because school soccer has started. I have been spending every afternoon after school at soccer. I have learned so much already because this is the first time I have ever been a true leader of something. I am one of the four captains of the team which means my actions impact the team even more than normal. I have definitely portrayed and been growing my IB characteristic of a leader. As a senior leader too, we have come up with rules for the team about being late and expectations of how to treat each other and act on the team. It will be essential for us (the leaders) to makes sure these rules are implemented to make sure our team has organization and runs smoothly. Also, these rules will enable us to have more fun and be more successful. This past weekend we had the Northwest Jamboree which is a soccer "tournament" where we play shortened games to have some practice playing against other teams. It went really well for Grimsley as we won all our games with some of our "better" players missing. I am really looking forward to this season.
