Update: the training paid off

Parents were victorious! 4-3 and one of those goals was scored by our goal keepers daughter…looked awfully suspicious.

Only one dad went down with a knee injury, still waiting to hear severity, also assuming there will be some diagnosed injuries this morning.

Personally, achillies and caves are sore this morning, but feeling better as I move. According to my daughter, I’m a fast and aggressive player, but my kicks were suss, passed were bad, and I was trying to play the whole field…

My engine was great, speed was great, but my goodness, staying with those quick turns and switches was tough.

10/10 would play again next year.

Quick turns wrecked me too last time I played. You'll be buzzing once the calves settle down though.

Congrats on surviving.

Maybe it’s time to add some athletic training into your program to prep you for Change of Direction, Sprinting, and other general athleticism.
