It was nice to feel wanted today. Having a couple of teams both wishing i'd be helping with them is a gratifying feeling.
We finished day 1 with 3 practices, 22 players, and still undefeated.
It wasn't so nice to feel old today. It was my first time out running around on a soccer field since turning 30. I don't have the speed or stamina I did when I was the age of these players. The game hasn't gotten any faster, my mind still keeps up, but my body doesn't get to the places it wants as fast as it used to, and the soreness that follows lasts a lot longer now.
Today I felt old and wanted. Tomorrow I know i'll still feel old.

You may feel old - but in 10 years, you'll look back and think you were still in your prime at 30! And wait until age 50 at how much slower you are. But be thankful to still be out enjoying the game!
