My Second Football Practice

Remember this?  This was about a week ago when I was practicing football with Daddy for the first time.  Since then, I have had many mini-practices with Daddy after he came home from work, and I'm proud to report that my technical skills have vastly improved since then.  The improvement is so great that Daddy decided that I'm now good enough to wear something more serious for this weekend's practice! 

Remember Uncle Steven who visited us from last November?  Along with the Chelsea shirt (that Daddy disliked so much), he also brought me this smart looking England kit!  And this is what I got to wear yesterday!  Can you believe that?  I'm actually wearing the same shirt that...

So what kind of practice did I do this time?  Well, I started off with some stretching exercise as warm up...

Then I immediately started asking for the ball!  "Give me that ball!"

Give me that ball!

I got the ball!

Here, Daddy was showing me how to beat the offside trap with anticipation, vision, and skills...

Beating the Offside Trap!

There were times that I really wondered who taught Daddy how to play Football.  His passing was confusing, if not frustrating, at times...

What the...?

Over here, Daddy and I were discussing who is to take this next freekick.  He was begging for it, but I just pretended like I couldn't hear him talk (as usual.)  Determination, with a eye for goal!

I'm going to take this freekick, not you!

And here is one of Daddy's favorite picture of me dirbbling...

Dribbling!

And if any of you think that this picture above is 'staged', and that I really couldn't dribble the ball at 18-months old, just watch this...

Yup!  I have just re-defined what U-20 really means!

You've seen Daddy's favorite picture.  Here's my pick!

And here are some video footages of my practice.

Addison's First Football Practice

I've done enough indoor football practice inside the house that, today, Daddy took me outside for some 'grass-root' football.

Not being too familiar with surface, I was a bit hesitant in the beginning to dribble.  Meanwhile, Daddy somehow thought that he still has the lungs to run around, that he almost passed-out.  He was totally on the ground, and I had to pull him up, and to give him some encouragement.  The video below is a bit long... but if you hang in there till the end, you'll see how I helped Daddy 'to stand on his feet!'

Here are some photos.
