Got my daughter into soccer and she scored her first goal

3w ago·1 min read

She's been nervous about trying team sports but we finally got her signed up for a recreational league. Third game of the season and she actually scored! The kid next to her tried to steal the ball and she just outmaneuvered her and kicked it in. You should have heard her scream. She ran straight to the sideline looking for me in the crowd. Worth every early morning practice we had to drive to. She's already asking when the next game is.

First goal is huge! That moment is going to stay with her forever. I see it all the time coaching - that first real win or goal is when something just clicks for kids and they realize they can actually do hard things.

That's huge! Getting kids over that nervous hump with team sports is the real win here. She's gonna remember that first goal forever because you pushed her to try.

First goal hits different, man. That confidence boost is gonna carry into everything else she does now. You crushed it getting her out there.

That's awesome! Rec league is such a great entry point for kids who are nervous. My daughter was terrified her first practice but the coach was super encouraging and now she can't wait for games. The confidence boost from scoring is going to stick with her.

Love hearing this. Getting kids into sports is one of my favorite things about parenting. The teamwork, the exercise, the friends she'll make - your daughter's going to remember this for the rest of her life.
