Cecily played soccer for two seasons when she was four. She had a blast - flitting and twirling all over the field in her big yellow bow and "power bead" necklace; hugging teammates and giggling all the way. Trouble was, she wasn't really interested in "soccer". At the end of that 2nd season, she announced she was retiring.
Now at 9, she has decided she is ready to try it again and today marked her official comeback. As with any comeback, the challenges are many - and for a non-competitive, little girl who doesn't particularly enjoy running (to say the least), the challenges will be great. But that being said, she ran hard today and stayed with it as best as she could. I'm not sure what the future holds in the world of soccer for our little Mia Hamm, but today I was honored to watch with pride her "comeback"...
SO PROUD! :)
