CHAPTER 6

HITTIN’ RESET

Thanks to my dad’s usual good advice, I’m back on my grind. I’m focused and working hard at practice, doing extra work with Billie and Adrian, and watching vids on YouTube. I’m even learning from Rich as I watch him at practice (don’t tell him though).

Slowly but surely I’m getting better. And I think I might be actually starting to like soccer! Crazy right? The team is winning (we remain undefeated) thanks in large part to Billie and Adrian who are both still killing it. But I’m still not ready to officially call Adrian the Kid Messi quite yet.

There are only two downsides. One, Rich is still being Rich The Rich Kid. I tried to hi-five him after he made an incredible game-winning save and he completely blew me off and left me hanging. While the second issue is that even though I’m getting better, I’m not getting to show it because I’m not really playing (even in practice).

A couple of weeks ago I did actually get some garbage time in for the first time since “the incident”. We were up 4 – 1 so Coach G finally let me play. And when I played I was kinda awesome (and by awesome I mean I saved the one shot that came my way…and by saved I mean it hit the side crossbar.

But I was in the right position and I guessed right about which way to move so I would’ve totally stopped it if it would’ve been on target).

Hey, now that I think about it, I had a shutout! Rich didn’t even do that. I think that means you can say I’m better than Rich right? Ok maybe not. But I definitely didn’t mess up or embarrass myself which is the most important thing of all! But after that it was back to the bench where I’ve been ever since. Meh.
