    She started when she was really young and has enjoyed it so much. She's on a traveling team. They won a championship last weekend.

Carol,
Your beautiful granddaughter seems to have an acumen for sports. And at only 16! I would really be proud of her too! She has so much to look forward to in life.
Athletics are a big part of my extended family too; but we come from short stock, so none of us played basketball, nor some, football.
I love your poem and the shining poem.
Good luck, Carol.
Blessings,
Cindy

I don't mind! She sounds like an all-star athlete. I have three kids currently in 8 sports plus piano. Eesh. We are running around like chickens with our heads cut off!

Glad you get to witness the action!

I hope you are enjoying your vacation time and your great grand daughters. I know you are extremely proud of Keyanna and her accomplishments. Your description of her determination and actions during the game leads us to believe she is on the path to a very successful life.

Glad you're enjoying your family time and getting to watch your great granddaughter play. They grow up so quickly that you need to see them whenever you can. There comes a time when they are too busy for us.
Thanks for sharing.

    It's been fun seeing all the activities the girls are involved in...Keyanna and her team traveled to Wilmington and won another soccer tournament which had college scouts there. She's a ways away from that but they did come and talk to her and complemented her on her talent.

Hurrah for Keyanna! You wouldn't be a card-carrying great-grandma without a bit of boasting about her talent and her victory! Is she this great at sixteen? Yes, yes she is. We may see her in the Olympics one day!

What a great time that must have been!

Oh yes, my younger daughters was a powerhouse in netball and cricket, I guess she gets it from me, I played competitive sport until I retired at 41, but played table tennis at a high level into my fifties. My eight year old grandson shows real promise at soccer and cricket, it's so good to be active, well done , go Keyanna, blessings Roy

    Wow! That's awesome, Roy. I liked baseball and swimming when I was younger, but in my 40's I was starting a new business and working 16-18 hour days. No time for sports. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for sharing the lovely photo and story about your great granddaughter. A very good opening that describes the journey getting to the match and introduces Keyanna and her team. She has a lot going for her with all of the sports she is involved in.

I like your description of how she plays with "grit and grace," and her response, "just playing the game." You do a great job describing how she scored the goal, and a very good conclusion to the game and Keyanna's contribution to the win.

Where does she play soccer? You did a great job with the story. Thanks for sharing it.

    She lives in North Carolina and is on a traveling league. She plays other sports but her love is soccer. She's not afraid of those bigger girls at all. Thanks so much.
