Soccer and Walking Boots
The Fall 2021 soccer season came in with a rush of chaos, excitement, and fun. The kiddo made the gold travel team and his middle school boys’ team, where he is one of four sixth-graders. We had our first tournament, the Labor Day Shootout, and it was nice to be the home team (minimal travel). While they played well, they lost. The tournament was after two weeks, maybe, of practices. Learning and building, you know? My parents kept the kiddo after the second Saturday game. We had a wedding to attend. The next day, my mom said that Connor could barely walk and that he had said his foot hurt. We asked. He said it was the new cleats. Fast forward to two weeks later, his foot still hurt. Fast forward to a foot specialist doctor. We thought it would be “inserts are needed.” Instead, it’s a broken heel. On the mend Soccer is taking a backseat…
