That's very cool, rhm. How old is your daughter? One of my (two) daughters played soccer from third through sixth grade. I never realized how exciting kids' sports could be. For me, they were as exciting as professional spectator sports, perhaps more so. Those girls learned to be tough. The job was very tough, and I remember one day they played in the pouring rain. The rain never let up. And the girls never complained.

I would have loved to be in your daughter's place this past weekend. She played a very important role. Her coach is very smart. And yes, the team really earned the trophy.
