A day in the life of a soccer player- Saint Albert Photographer.

When Logan was little we wanted to give him a chance to try a variety of activities. He tried blastball, gymnastic, swimming, dancing and soccer.  As a parent we know that it comes a point, specially after they start school that you can not do everything,  you gotta choose. So when it came time to choose there was no question that soccer was definitely on the top of his list. So I am a soccer mom...year round. And I love it. 

It is so gratifying to see your child having fun doing something they love, even when you know he is not the next Pele. Sometimes I don't really want to be driving to soccer 3 times a week but when I see how excited he is to go, it makes it worthwhile. 

Team sports are so good for kids. It helps them build confidence, it teaches them personal values, how to interact with others and the list goes on and on. If you are on the fence, take it from one of the most unathletic person out there, do it!
