This was Ty's second year playing soccer in AYSO. Last year was a great year. We were worried that this year would not be able to top it. But, this year has been even better.
Last year Ty stayed confident playing defense. He defended that ball like no other.
All season only two goals were made past him. His team won every game.
He defends his team like he defends his family. He is a faithful, committed player.
However, this year one of his team's best player was out for a few games and Ty had to step it up.
He knew he had a lot more responsibility to carry the team. He played offense for the first time and made several goals. He got a taste for making goals and really... there is no greater taste in sports.
He was hooked. This year has been great for Ty as he found it in himself to be a well-rounded player. He surprised himself!
His coach this year just wanted the boys to have fun. And fun they had! They played so well together because they were having fun. So far, the Frozen Yetis are undefeated.

Ty dances with the ball. He doesn't like that analogy at all. He says, "I DON'T dance with the ball!!" The boy dances with that ball for sure.
He maneuvers it right through the other players like it's no big deal.
...and the boy charges! He gains momentum, puts his head forward and takes off like the roadrunner.
...and sister watches and loves cheering for brother.
One of my favorite moments was when one Saturday game the other team's best player went down hard and Ty picked him up, brushed the dirt off his back and told him that was an awesome play.
This boy makes his mama proud!!
