In a last-minute decision made only a few short hours ago, I will be doing my final On the Field with Ashley and Michael segment today. In a little under an hour-and-a-half, I will head out to the soccer fields, in this rainy, depressing weather to practice with JV Girls’ Soccer.
I chose Girls’ Soccer because I figured that it would make for an entertaining story. Soccer is a very exhausting sport, and while I certainly don’t look forward to all that running (ugh!), I believe that you will be entertained and hopefully, gain some insight into the mind of a soccer player.
My biggest worry: all that running. It’s insane how far a soccer player runs in one game.
I am most looking forward to trying some soccer because, while I’m not great, I at least know what I am doing, enjoy it somewhat and, as few people know, once contemplated playing soccer…until I learned how much running was involved.
Don’t forget to check back here tonight for some great photos and videos!
P.S. Thank you to Ashley Pajor (photographer) for her last-minute support!
Where are you from? Is it a secret?
No, it is not a secret. We are from Ralston Valley High School in Colorado.
