| A Letter From Our Director
|
![Coach Chris]()
To the Kidz Love Soccer family,
Hello again!
I
have been writing these editorial letters for about 4 years now, and
I'm never sure whether or not anyone is reading them. So if you do read
this and have a reaction, please feel free to share your ideas and
thoughts at the address below. I'll be looking forward to your response.
Well,
here we are in the middle of winter; we are caught in the vortex of a
California rain storm. The water experts say we are 50% short of what
we need for the year and headed for rationing, but all I can see is
rain - the clouds seem to have dropped onto my head at about 9 feet
above ground! Quite depressing if I let it be. I am choosing not to let
it get me down : )
It is hard to imagine Spring soccer with all
of the fun in the sun that our children will be experiencing.
Especially with the weather being so crummy. There will be Kidz Love
Soccer activities for children of all ages (2.5 - 12.9) on a field near
you. It will be sunny and warm. The Kidz will need repeated water
breaks, sunscreen gooped all over their happy faces, and they'll be
hot! Off will come the long pants and jackets of winter, and in their
place, shorts and t-shirts will be worn. And the colors... The children
will take off the browns, grays, and blacks of winter, and wear the
bright neon colors red, orange, and yellow; the glorious colors of
spring and summer. I can hardly wait!
In the middle of gray, wet
weather, freezing cold conditions, and short days, we must find a way
to maintain a positive attitude and outlook. For me, I choose to see
the coming Spring as sure as breathing. For myself, I choose to
remember what the sun on my skin feels like, how green the grass grows
in the Spring, how the flowers bloom while the bees land on them in
search of nectar. It's all going to be different.
I think
sometimes we can get bogged down in the depressing color of our
circumstances. Circumstances are like the weather; ever changeable. Or
maybe I should say the weather is like a soccer match. With the ebb and
flow of a the match comes success, challenges, success, challenges, and
so on. How we face adversity is what matters, and keeping a proper
perspective is a HUGE aspect in maintaining an upward looking outlook.
Regardless
of how the dank, cold weather makes us feel, spring is still going to
arrive. The sap is still going to rise, whether we feel like it or not.
It's the same with soccer players and the game. If a player finds
themselves underperforming, or feeling less-than because of some other
players with greater talent, all they have to do is keep trying; stick
around and the sap will rise. The challenge for us is to overcome our
circumstances, and we can better do this through keeping a positive
mental and spiritual attitude. Instead of constantly belaboring the
current state of affairs (or the state of the economy for that
matter!), we should force ourselves to remember. Remember all of the
wet winters that we've lived before, every one of them eventually
turned into warm, splendiferous summers. It's the same with the
circumstances of life. Right now the economy is in the dumps and the
ceiling of clouds pours down on us from 9 feet above the ground. Acuna
Matata! It means, no worries for the rest of your days, a phrase from
'The Lion King.'
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=acuna+matata
I
think back to my junior year in college. At the time I was playing
soccer for a very small college in the Portland area. I was not
recruited for the team, but chose to attend there based on a very
well-known coach, and a successful NAIA program. I began as 13th man
(not a starter, on the bench) and ended the season as the 3rd leading
goal-scorer, even though I was playing limited minutes. Instead of
crying in my beer (I don't even like beer; I'm more into a good
Valpolicella myself!) I pulled up my bootstraps and made the most
of my limited playing time. For my final year of soccer eligibility, I
transferred to Azusa Pacific University, captained our team, and made
1st Team All-tournament Selection to end my college soccer days. When I
get down by the circumstances of life, I need to be reminded of how
things always ebb and flow, wax and wane, come and go. It's part of the
rhythm of life.
This is what I wish and hope for us all: that
we would remember in our hearts that the sap will rise, the Monarch
butterflies will return, the days will lengthen, and sun will shine
again. Let's all just keep a positive attitude as we hang in there. Our
Kidz are depending on us to set this example.
Blessings on us all,
Coach Chris Trevisan
