This weekend all 3 of my kids were in a tournament at the same location. It is nice when we can be in the same place for the whole weekend and see everyone play. It makes for a wee bit crazy weekend of me running from field to field to snap pictures and not miss any moments with my kids. It is the one that that is so very important to me. It is times like today that I am glad I am able to be there. My son has played in 3 shootouts at tournaments. He has never lost a shootout until today. It was heartbreaking that it came down to this. The game was 0-0 when it went to Shootout. No one understands what he goes through in these situations. He walked away in tears. And cried the whole way home. He leaves it all on the field EVERYTIME. It was heartbreaking for me as I approached him to have him just cry into my shoulder. Some will never get what it is like to be a keeper and have all of the pressure on them. If someone misses a goal it is no big deal. If Jack lets one in it is a totally different story. He is exhausted since last weekends tournament to 2 games this week to this weekend of tournament. He is definitely ready for a much needed break. I love this kid and the fact that he puts his heart into it 110%. I just wish that he did not feel like it is all on him....
