Carlos played Tackle football for the first time this year. He enjoyed it but yet didn't enjoy it. This year was a bit rough as he played positions he never played last year in flag football. He missed running and catching the ball this year but enjoyed being the punter.
He is a great kid and very thoughtful. This was a hard year with coaches and not much positive reinforcement. Carlos was told he needed to work harder and he told me he was. At the beginning of the season he weighed 77 pounds and when the season finished, which was about 6 weeks later, he had lost 15 pounds. He now weighs 62 pounds. Do you think he worked hard? Like my mom says, "Men and their sports."

Maybe you should tell the coaches how hard he worked... I would like to punch two of them for sure... I am not sure about the Christiansen guy or Jaxon's dad... I think they were fine... but the other two made me mad as a hornet. No better kid than Carlos and they didn't use it to their advantage. He did look good in the uniform and he is a good punter. I guess if he played tackle football for high school I would be okay with it if he was the punter... but I think coaches just break boys and men in tackle because of their egos. It is ridiculous. Good post, Michelle. Love, Mom
coaches can ruin the sport for some kids. hopefully that won't be the case of carlos again. but hopefully he had some fun!
