Circle of Trust

Spoke about my son’s experience on taking on the challenge of possibly switching soccer clubs. The process of showing up to a tryout, seeing an extremely large number of players all after a common goal. We talked about how the only thing you can control is your attitude and effort. The rest will take care of itself. I told him no matter what if he gives it his best effort and does his best that is all he can do. If other players are better than you at the moment then we have to accept that and work harder for the next round. In the end he was battling it out for a spot on one of two teams and there were roughly 75-80 players his age at the tryout for 36-40 spots. I waited to write this backblast until we had received the email from the club. His hard work over the last year definitely paid off and he now he needs to set the bar again and chase his next goal.
