The soccer goal that felt like winning the lottery

My 7 year old scored his first goal ever in soccer today. He's been struggling all season, getting discouraged, talking about quitting. Then boom, he gets it past the goalie and the whole team is losing their minds. I've never seen him smile that big. Worth every Saturday morning of driving him to practice and listening to him say he didn't want to go.

This is what it's all about. He learned that pushing through the hard part leads somewhere. You just gave him that lesson.

Man, when they finally break through after doubting themselves, that's the victory right there. Bet he's going to remember this day.

That's a huge moment for him. After struggling all season and wanting to quit, that first goal is going to stick with him forever. You probably got to watch his whole mindset shift.
