We won our first game! Well, we didn't really win. There's no scorekeeper and "everyone's a winner," right? But, in my mind, we definitely won the game 3-2. The boys played very hard and we took some good shots on goal. They were definitely pumped up after we got outplayed in our first match.
After the match, the boys came running up to me. "We won, we won!" "Coach, did you see it?" I had to calm them down, as the other team was already lined up, ready to shake hands and do the feigned congratulatory "good game" chant in their best monotone voice. No one likes to "lose" and even though they're only seven, and there wasn't an official score, every kid keeps a running tally of the goals in their heads. We celebrated with a snack from the concession stand and called it a night.
