Landen is a soccer stud

Landen is a soccer stud! Spring soccer started last Saturday. I have to say...even though I'm his Mom...he's really good at soccer. I think it's because he's soooooo competitive. Landen wants to win at EVERYTHING. He wants to be the first done (at school), the first to score a goal, the first down the field or court...he runs really fast!

Landen was approached last week after the game by two coaches.

One asked him if he'd come to the spring "keeper clinic" so he could help him be a better goal keeper. Landen loves to play goaly. I myself...it freaks me out! He's the last guy that the ball can get passed...and if it gets passed him...he thinks it's his fault...even though there are plenty of defenders of the field it had to get passed before it got to him. He's got an amazing drop kick and is not afraid to tackle ball when the ball is right in the middle of the other players.

The other coached asked Landen if he was interested in trying out for the Summer Select under 10 boys teams...cause HE'S going to be the coach. He's watched Landen play and said that if he came out for tryouts...he'd make the team. It's a team that plays during the summer in tournaments.

Miranda, I'm telling you he's one of those indigo kids that they are always talking about on the news...the kids who are gifted at EVERYTHING!!! I know he is an amazing soccer player, but I don't think there is a single sport that he is not good at, and then there are all of his other talents...musical, educational, artistic...He must take after his mommie!
