Austen is the most amazing soccer player! He thrives on pressure and intense situations. Mom on the other hand is a basket case in the stands whenever he is in goal. He has learned some amazing skills. In one game he was given the penalty kick from 30 yards out (twice) and slammed the ball into the net both times to score for his team. Then in the second half he was playing keeper and had some downright amazing saves. After one particularly hard fought game, the coach of the other team came over to tell Austen how outstanding he had played and that he hadn't seen too many goalies with his kind of skills at this age. I attribute some of those skills to watching countless hours of his older sister as she too demonstrated amazing skills. Austen is a great team player and a good leader on the field. He loves the game and it shows when he plays.
