Yeah that whole thing about updating regularily didn't work out lol  Whoa I have to tell about 6 months lol this could tak a while! Lets see I played up on the u-18 team we won some and we lost some.  Our first tourney we recieved 2nd place, I cracked a rib playing goalie, and 2 weeks later was state.  My rib felt better but I barely played and my just wonderful coach didn't play me at all the final game and very little in the proceeding games.  I was so pissed you have no idea how hard and long I worked to be able to lift up my teammates.  I'd get to practise an hour early and stay after at least an hour!  I never missed a game or practise!  I helped him pick up the stuff while everyone else left dang it I was and still am mad 3 months later!  I did all that and he didn't have the decency to play me 5 freakin minutes when I now I could've made a difference!  Instead he played a girl with a possible concussion, a girl with a partially torn ACL and I girl sick to her stomach.  I was NOT a bad player and it was the meanest vilest thing he could ever have done to me!  And he didn't ever acknowledge it grrr!  Ok now that I'm done ranting I'm moving on lol.  Hmm I turned 16 on June 30th and it was pretty good fun!  I went to breakfast, chopped my hair off, and had a really, really small party lol.  Hmm July 8-13 I had a soccer camp in Washington and it was really fun!  Except for the 2nd day of camp I got kicked in my bad ankle and they wouldn't let me play the rest of the week even tho I was fine!  That kinda blew but whatever.  I had a week off after that camp and then my second camp started up on the 23rd.  Its a local camp that has a morning and evening session.  The first week I played with the girls both sessions.  But the second week I did GK during the morning sessions and went with the guys during the evening sessions!  There was this seriously cute guy but check this out I found out he was 1.5 years younger *teardrop* lol ah well~  Hmm and I went on a hike with my friends.  And last weekend I did like medieval fighting and spent the nite with my bff at her bfs house it was great fun!  Hmm but other than that not much has happened lol  Wow that didn't take up as much as I thought it would OH YEAH I got a 4.0 too!  Cha well I think Beckham is a lazy bum.  He's getting paid thousands of dollars to basically sit there and look pretty so far!  Man it's killing me!  Well have a lovely day!  BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The snowflakes outside are huge!  It's soo much fun to play soccer in the snow...  slightly cold but fun.  Sadly I can't go out and play because I broke my ankle 3 weeks ago.  I'd be depressed but I think that's impossible for me.  I have to say I am slightly (ok maybe majorly) irritable.  Oh geez my coach called after he found out.  I was so nervous he was going to say that he was dropping me from the team or something!  But he didn't and I got to order my uniform!  I'm so excited for this season!!!  Well my ankle is healing quite fast according to Doc. Stimpson, but not nearly fast enough for me!  This is killing me if I wouldn't have got injured I could be 10x better by now but no.  Oh well I'll just have to train 10x harder than everyone else.  I'm looking for soccer camps this summer and I wish I was rich because all of them cost tons o' money!  I could probably talk my dad into two soccer camps that were $300 or less if I babysitted or something.  Hmm I'll figure it out when I'm not busy making up semester tests that I missed for surgery!  Oh yeah I got a plate and five lovely screws in my ankle.  They showed me the x-rays and I was like, "Gee that kind of looks like my first woodwork project in home improvement class..."  And I have to say it was rather disturbing lol  But I trust him he has a PhD or whatever and I haven't even got through 10th grade.  Man I swear those snowflakes are like the size of those giant bouncy balls at Pizza Hut!  Anyways I can bike so I try to do that 30 min. every other day.  I'd do it twice every day but my parents won't take me.  Figures I break the ankle I drive with psh.  Anywho I'm going to have to nearly kill myself training after I heal enough.  I can't let my teammates and coach down by majorly sucking!  I plan to be a starter after all!  Then again none of the girls around here train very much that I know of.  If any of them read this and they train a lot I'm very sorry but I didn't know and I probably haven't met you.  Hmm I went to the Summit (workout place) yesterday and I biked for 30 minutes.  I also did 100 sit ups, 50 side to side situps, and other ab exercises.  I did assisted pull-up and dips too.  I also bench press (or whatever it's called) 50 lbs 30 times.  I did my knee exercises too, o' course.  My ACL knee hurts lately it keeps getting stiff and if you poke the scar it's kind of tender.  It's kind of freaking me out cause I don't want to hurt it!  I wish it was totally healed already!  Hmm I wonder if I'll have to get an ankle brace for the season???  Hope not!  OOOOOOOOOH!!!  Yesterday my dad and I went shopping and I got a soccer picture frame and I soccer shelf!  The shelf is so cute!  It has a soccer ball on each end and the back is a net!  I also got these two great soccer books!  One is called Soccer's Top Ten and the other is Go For The Goal by Mia Hamm.  Go For The Goal is like my favorite book!  Mia has a lot of the same ideas I do and she even talks like me sometimes!  OR maybe I talk like her cause she was kind of born before me.  Anyways I watched the U.S. men vs. Mexico and the last 20 min. were intense!  Landon had an assist and a goal.  His goal was brilliant!  A mexican player tried to pass the ball through the referee and lets just say it didn't work.  Anyways Landon got control dribbled between two opposing players, around another, and faked out the goalie to score a goal!  OMG I just forgot who score the other goal!  I feel bad because it was a beautiful header!  He didn't even have to jump and it went right into the corner.  Oh yeah it was CARTER!  It was brilliant!  Anyways Tim Howard was awesome too!  He made two saves that pretty much well saved the game!  Both were from point blank range and it was beautiful.  Hmm my abs hurt lol  I need to throw away the lays potatoe chips!  I don't know what it is but I think I've become addicted!  lol  OOOOOOH my dad got a new HD TV downstairs and it has the Spanish soccer or should I say Futbol Channel!!!  I watched Madrid vs. Racer a couple o'nights ago.  I can't believe David Beckham is coming to L.A. Galaxy.  The dude kills me!  I think we all know that he's past his prime.  I've found out that players in Europe only come to the U.S. if nobody will take them or they don't want to play as competitively.  I may be biased but we'll see how Beckham turns out.  I really hope he plays his heart out and doesn't disappoint all of us here in the U.S.  I'll be optimistic and I think if him and Landon can click that they'll be unstoppable!  Anyways remember no matter what trials you face, if you perservere it can only get better!  Love Am Soccer Ayres

         I figure for the new year I'd better write in the blog!  I'm so excited!  I found a team for the Spring season!  It's a U-18 team but that's okay I get to play with loads of great players.  Steve Boone is the coach and from what I hear he's pretty good.  I am so happy I would've died if I wouldn't have found a team.  I get to play with Annie B. and Megan O!  Those two are extremely talented players and I think I can learn a lot from them.  OOOOOH don't tell me doctor, but I scored a hatrick a couple o' week ago in indoor.  It was so awesome!  Hehe I'm not exactly released to play yet but I just couldn't resist!  My doctor, Dr. Stimpson, is probably going to sit on me so I can't go play lol!  I guess the positive of my knee injury is that I have to focus a lot on just the basics.  My footwork is so much better.  I can now juggle an average of 50 times and my record is 201.  I'm going for a 200 average by hmm Spring because that's what I heard you have to do for a college team.  I've heard that becoming a professional soccer player takes more than hardwork.  I know it's true, though.  It takes determination, passion, and learning in addition to hardwork.  But I'm ready, you'll see one day I'll be the person walking onto the pitch.

 

        On that note I'm happy to say I got my PSAT back and I did really good!  As a sophomore I scored in the 86% compared to Juniors and Seniors!  I was so pumped!  So far I have a 4.0 and I hope to keep that up for semester!  In home improvement class I'm making a "soccer locker"!!!!  It's 6.5' tall, 15'' deep, and 2' wide.  It's so cool and this summer I'm going to decorate it or maybe on spring break!  I hope I can get hold of a router so I can cut a soccerball into the door.  Wouldn't that be totally awesome.  I also built a picture frame for the rafting picture I got from a camp I went to in WF.  Speaking of WF most of my teammates come from there!  Did I mention how excited I am?  Hmm I wonder when ODP tryouts are?  Oh well, I don't know if I'd make it this year anyways...  There's always next year!  I'm looking for a couple really good camps for this summer.  I contacted MLS soccer camps and they really want to have a camp here.  I guess that the main guy was trying to contact someone here to see if he could host a camp here and I'm seeing if I can find the person to talk to.  I'm thinking Mr. Riley would be a good contact because he's just the most soccerest guy I know!  lol that sounded a lot like a five year old.  Anyways if they do have a camp up here it would rock!  I know I'm most likely going to go to Stebbin's Camp like I do every year...  I know the boys would just totally miss me kicking their bums (lol right)!  Well I'm off to train at the Summit!

OMG A month ago the worst thing ever happened to me.  I was at soccer practice in a pre-black and orange game scrimmage (varsity vs. JV) and I tore my ACL!  I was going for a slid tackle, got chipped, and pivoted.  When I was pivoting two freshman came in like five seconds late with their frickin' cleats up and hit my knee.  Now thanks to that unfortunate event, I can't play soccer for 6 frickin' months.  I never cry, never.  When I got hit I didn't cry, when I had the sugery I didn't cry, when I do the physical therapy I don't cry.  When I have to watch everyone else play and no one gives a darn about me, I don't cry.  I don't care what anyone thinks or if they think I am a freak.  I love soccer and when they told me I couldn't play I cried.  Soccer is my life and even though technically I'm still alive, my life has been stolen from me because of a stupid mistake.

SOCCER KICKS EVERY OTHER SPORTS BUM! 

Holey Moley haven't been on here in ages!  Hmm you know when you think you truly know someone and it turns out to be the total opposite?  yuup story of my life lol  People change so much and it's hard to truly know anyone... yet I feel as if I am always the same.  I guess I am viewed totally different by certain people rather than others.  Some think I am an aggressive, annoying, mean, cocky, bragger, and indifferent.  Most think I'm goofy, kinda quiet, bubbley, otimistic, nice, determined, motivated, and etc...  So I'm wondering how people got these totally different perspectives on me.  AHHH people are too confusing.

 

I love soccer, but lately it's been really frustrating for me.  I try to be encouraging but many of the girls on my team will not try their hardest.  They made a committment to their team and I plan to have them follow through.  Now I may be guilty of slacking off sometimes also but it still frustrates me.  I work my bum off and I want to bring my team up.  I am working my hardest not to bring them down and I just wish they would do the same.  "Bustin' ours to kick urs,"  That's my new motto lol 

 

 OMG I CAN DO A RAINBOW HALF OF THE TIME I TRY LOL!  I am so pumped for my games this weekend!  We are playing u-15 strikers (again) and the THUNDERBOLTS!  Whoa I think I just got converted from goalie/forward to sweeper lol  Oh well as long as I get to play!  Yuppers that pretty much is the highlight of my life lol   Hmm you know what a pet peeve for me is?  People dissing soccer when they know nothing about it.  This boy at school was like soccers gay it doesn't even have any contact.  Yep he's pretty much soccer retarded.  He should pick up Soccer For Dummies.  haha  No one thats ever played soccer has said it's not a contact sport.  SERIOUSLY, I think I want to move somewhere that soccer is prevelant and people love it as much as I do.

 

Well have a brilliant day!
