Five months and a bazillion days of therapy later, Hannah was back on the field for her first tournament. She was nervous, I was nervous...but she played superbly!
She had a lot to prove. She had to prove to herself she could play with confidence, she had to prove to her coach she deserved her position and starting spot back. She had to prove to her new team, she was a good player. Her coach told her to "bring it"...she brought it alright!
The "Hannimal" was back.
First Goal
Takes the ball and runs with it.
Two goals and an assist for her first weekend out. During the second game, she was fouled hard. Her feet were clipped from behind and shoved in the back. She went down hard on her hip, she rolled over wide-eyed looking right at me. My heart skipped a beat, it seemed like slow motion. But, she stood up brushed off the grass and got back in the game. I think we both knew then that she could handle it and the stress was less.
