Chloe is playing basketball and indoor soccer this winter. She loves the time with her friends and the excitement of the game.
She is playing in the Malvern League with 1st grade Saint Annie's girls. Just this past weekend, Chloe scored her first basket! It was really exciting to watch. She stole the ball, dribbled the length of the floor, and swished a five footer. Then, according to Andy, she performed an Ocho Cinco like celebration dance. She is a tenacious defender on the basketball court.
She is also playing soccer at the YSC with her T/E friends. Tory Stagnaro and Sean O'Reilly are coaching. Chloe loves to play soccer, but even more, she loves to win! Unfortunately, her soccer team seems to be losing every game:( Chloe continues to score goals for her team, but it doesn't seem to be enough for a win. On the way home from Saturday's game, Chloe told Andy she was getting tired of soccer, or more specifically losing! Andy pointed out to the girls that even professional teams can experience losing streaks during a season. Isabel said, "Like the Eagles?!" Andy said, "Yes!" Isabel quickly blurted out,"Dad, they fired their coach!". Andy asked do you think Coach S should be fired? Chloe quickly blurted "no!". It was great dialogue.
Chloe, I am glad you are having this experience, even though it is never fun to lose. I think it is important to experience the ups and downs in life and as part of a team. You are a star and get better and better with each practice and game!
