Soccer Star
Monday, October 18, 2010
Well Jackson was wondering when his soccer fame would land him a spot on TV. Well we are still working on an ESPN deal, but in the mean time I'll give him some exposure that will be even better than any TV deal: my blog.
So here is some footage from the first few minutes of Jackson's very first soccer game. Note the 382 parents just standing on the field. Also note the father who is carrying his daughter around the field when she insists on not playing (he held her hand during all of practice). If you have a sharp eye you can watch Jackson pick up the ball mid play so he can get in just the right position. You can also catch Jackson's "oops" goal for the other team, and his all around aggressive play and pretty good ball handling skills.
Enjoy!
PS. Sorry about the hair flying the video. My hair has gotten a little out of control and I was totally unprepared for my role as "video mom"

He IS a star! I love all the parents standing around, and the little quick shot of Bennett :). Look at you Heidi, all in to sports! All it took was having a kid play :)

Wow, he is right on that ball. I love it. Funny when he kicked it by the dog and he didn't look too excited to try and get the ball. Can't wait to see him play in person.

I have no doubt he'll make it onto an ESPN big screen someday, and when that happens, this video of his first soccer game will be even more priceless. :)

Not only skills, but good looks, too. The cutest little face out there.
