SENIOR SOCCER SEASON STARTED!

SOCCER! IT HAS BEGUN...

This was our first scrimmage of the season against Minnesota State University, Moorhead. We won 2-0. The team has been playing well so far. We started trying a new kind of controversial taping strategy on Chelsee's knee (that's what the blue and pink is in the picture below). It seems to be helping. She is able to go without her brace now and it seems to be getting better day by day.

She's also team captain this year. It's a role that fits her very well! The picture above is of her and a freshmen that is probably going to be starting next to her as an outside defender. Chelsee has definitely taken her under her wing and it's become pretty clear that Kelsey (the freshmen) looks up to her!

BEFORE & AFTER

After every game and practice Chelsee has to be wrapped up with at least 2, if not 3 or 4, ice bags. Her body is definitely ready for her to stop beating it up with soccer...

T.J.'s FIRST SOCCER GAME

We bought T.J. a little soccer jersey in Brazil. He's finally big enough to fit into it and it is absolutely ADORABLE! The whole team loved him in it! What a little stud!

He LOVED sitting on the sidelines playing with the soccer ball! I definitely had to multi-task that day! I am working with the team again (my 3rd year now) as their student Athletic Trainer so on top of watching T.J. that day, I still had to tape up all the girls and attend to their injuries. He was such a good little man that day though! He loved being around so many girls!

I just LOVE this picture! Baby's first soccer game!

Haha! His head and the ball are just about the same shape! :P
