Chloe has been playing soccer since 2010. She has loved it and like pretty much every other sport she has played she was really good at it. It has been a huge part of all of our lives, and we have seen her grow in so many ways as she has played.
A few weeks ago Chloe made a huge choice. She is quitting soccer for at least a year. Things have been crazy playing three sports. She has had to practice almost every day and sometimes twice for two different sports. She has had to choose between two sports which game to attend. And overall it has just been exhausting for us all. She decided to stop soccer for one year and really focus on basketball and softball and see where that takes her. If she want to play again when she is in high school she will try out for the team and shouldn't have a problem making it.
It has been an emotional decision. Chloe played her last game of the season and although Chloe's team didn't win. She did score a goal, which was a great way to end the season.
After the game Chloe gave her coach a thank you card with her decision inside.
This is the text we received back from him.
'I just wanted to say that we will definitely miss Chloe on our team. It was sad to read that she will be taking a break, but I hope it is what is best for her. She has always worked hard and done what I have asked of her without ONE WORD of complaining! She is a great kid, and you should be very proud parents! Happy that she got a goal today, thank you Chloe for being such an amazing teammate and human being.'
WOW! that honestly couldn't have made us prouder of our girl.
Though that was her last official game with the team, she will be guest playing with them in the upcoming summer games.
In the meantime her other sports have become even more time consuming making us realize the wisdom and necessity of this decision. She has pitching lessons once a week for softball, She also made the all-star team, which brings with it two practices a week. ON top of that she will attend three different basketball camps in the next three weeks (one of them on invite to go to a team camp with the freshman team).
We love you Chloe!!! Remember life decisions can be difficult, but as long as you work hard and bu your heart into it you will succeed in whatever you choose, and don't forget to have fun along the way.
