Is it still fun to play?

If Vegas gave odds on Isaiah's game they were expected to lose . . . by a lot. And they did. I think they were scored on 5 times . . . in the first half! We didn't score and I don't think we converted to a first down once the entire game. Isaiah at center was up against the biggest kid I've seen him face all season and he did great. He didn't do much on D this game but given the score, you could say no one did much on D :) After the game in the team huddle the kids were smiling and coach kept it positive. Does this show a good positive attitude?? or that no one cares?? Regardless I'm glad he's having fun. Final score - not sure, lost count. Something big to zero. :)

After the stressful game last week Mathias's team has gotten intense. They spent all Tuesday's practice "working on getting their pride back" this meant nothing but one on one tackle drills and sprints over and over and over. I'm not sure Mathias understood all the speechifying that went with it but I simplified "Give an effort you're proud off, if that's your best and you lose it's ok. Don't give up and spend the game crying on the sidelines." This weekend they played a team coached by his coach from last year (8-2 2008 record) Great coaches. It was another tough game. Mathias got another interception but he fumbled the first offensive pass thrown to him this season. We made it through the game with no tears so that's a first. He's really pumped about his interceptions. He wants to get one a game. :) Final score was 24 - 7 and final speech was "keep your heads up".
