My 14 year old got it done!

[First-light]

About 6 months ago my 14 year old daughter came to us for a conversation. She wanted to change teams and league. She was playing D1 EDP league soccer.

Her goal was to play for the top league in the country ECNL Elite Clubs National League. She gave her reasons and we gave our blessings. She worked hard training by herself at home 30 minutes a day. She has a personal trainer 1 time a week. I actually caught her pulling a tub full of fire wood around the backyard in the snow training. Well tryouts ended and she got the call that she made the team. I'm so proud of her and her aspirations! I'll be traveling all over the country with her and so looking forward to it!

Good for her! She knew what she wanted, and worked hard to get it! Her talent and determination will take her far. You have every right to be so proud of your little girl. Have fun at the games!

Congratulations to your daughter.

Hot damn that’s awesome. The best part is SHE set a goal and EARNED it. You don’t sound like so many of those prickly parents who pick their kids goals for them and bury them with clinics, trainers, specialist, etc so they (not sure if it’s the parents or the kids) can succeed.

I really like the "tub full of firewood in the snow" reference. That is a real workout. That's why my stacks are uphill from the front door. I just have to avoid being run over when bringing in firewood. Congratulations to both your daughter and to you.
