Been working with my 6 year old in the backyard for weeks and today it finally happened. He broke free from the pack and kicked it right in. The smile on his face was unforgettable. He sprinted over to me on the sideline screaming. Best moment of my year so far honestly.
Nothing beats seeing that breakthrough moment with your kid. All those hours in the backyard finally clicking for him, that's what it's all about right there.
That's awesome man, those backyard practice sessions really do pay off. That smile is everything - he's gonna remember that moment for a long time.
That's huge! The work you put in the backyard totally paid off. I remember when my oldest finally clicked with soccer like that. The look on their face when something you've been practicing actually works? That's the stuff you remember forever.
That's awesome man! Nothing beats the pride on their face when they accomplish something they've been working toward. Did he get mobbed by the team after or what?

Dude congrats! Those are the moments that make all the repetitive drills and patience worth it. My son is around the same age and we've been doing the same thing. The second goal is coming soon I bet.
