The Good - What We Did Right:- Heart - Team Fire has heart, we didn't give up no matter what the conditions. That proves the DESIRE these girls have to fight together.
- Teamwork - There were some of the best passes on the field I've seen in U10. If these skills could be honed...WOW!
- Skills - Stopping, turning, dribbling and attacking that ball were evident throughout the game, it was very impressive for this soccer mom to watch.
What We Can Do Better:
- Goalies - Rush the ball, use your hands in the box...if you pick it up they can't touch it, make quick decisions on throwing and kicking it back to team members...head up; look for the best opening FAST. Don't hesitate, it gives them (the other team) too much time to think about and watch your movements.
- Positions - Defense was too far forward, offense was too far back. Strikers are NOT sweepers, keep positions whenever possible and keep open for those awesome passes I know you are all capable of (I saw them).
- Teamwork - There were some really incredible individual efforts but to win you must be "firing" on all 6 cylinders! Spread out, think about your teammates, give them someone to pass too when they get in trouble!!!
We had everything against us this first game; new team mates, new style, strong opponent and a saturated field...but FIRE still burned on that field, let's learn from our losses and build on those lessons.
Remember..."Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." - Albert Einstein
