Day 1,687, Quasi-Quarantine: The Payoff Comes When The End Is In Sight


This kid had a trying fall soccer season at times. 
  • He joined a new team -- going up a level -- after a stressful tryout. 
  • He went through individual, daily offseason workouts this summer without ever having met his coaches or teammates. 
  • He was the new kid on an existing team, then was immediately told he wouldn't be able to even try out to play his favored position, goalie. 
  • He had to learn a new position, a new system, and new teammates -- all at the same time.
  • He fractured his forearm during a practice and only found out a couple of days later.
  • He played through pain and with a sizeable cast.
  • Then he scored both of his team's goals in a tournament game against the eventual tourney champ.
Proud Dad here. ✋

Way to be, Finnegan.
