Since Erin's been playing soccer, her position of choice has been defense. It doesn't matter if it's left, right, or mid, that's where she's like to be. It's why I gave her the nickname Erin the Defender. This season, she's branched out into goalie, but she really doesn't like it as much, and has pretty much decided to break it to her coaches this week that she doesn't want to play it anymore. At today's game, though, she asked her coach to let her play midfield, and in the 4th quarter, she gave this new role a try. She loved it! She ran around a lot more than she does on defense, but also got to get involved with the ball more as well. Who knows...? Maybe this will become her new position of choice. As far as I'm concerned, long as she keeps enjoying it, she can play whatever position she wants!

It's nice that she's been able to try playing different positions. I've seen teams where once the child is identified as being good in one role, the coach won't move him or her. Neat action shot! She looks like she's totally into the game!
