Glory Days, Well, They'll Pass You By

Saturday and Sunday were "work" days for me. I spent 16 hours taking the Mass. State "E" coaches license for soccer. Of the 16 hours, about 9 hours were on the field drilling and scrimmaging.

Argh! My aching bones.

Happily, I did hold my own against fellow participants as young as college age. We were all at 80% speed in an effort to avoid injuries...which we were 80% successful. But it was terrific fun to play again at a high level with other high level players.

My highlights...a Cryuff shot which nutmegged my opponent and scored! And a back heel shot...nutmeg...score.

Oh, yeah, and I really did learn a shitload on coaching.
