This weekend Peanut had two state soccer games. I tend to worry about him when he is out on the field. He is one of, if not the toughest player out there. He does not back down. He plays defender and will just about risk life and limb to prevent the ball from going past him. The fact that he is not the biggest player out there doesn't make any difference to him.
I took this picture on my iPhone and zoomed in. I know it is grainy.
Just minutes before, Peanut leveled the boy in red. Peanut got all ball and the other boy went down like a domino. It was very amusing as that boy is about twice Peanut's size. The red player's coach commented to his player that he just got leveled by a boy half his size! Peanut was on the field chuckling. The best part was that it was all good, clean soccer. No one got hurt.
Oh! Yeah! They won both games this past weekend! Wahoo! More soccer this weekend...

I never assume that a smaller boy will be any less of a threat! On N's team there are 6th graders up to 9th graders and one of their strikers is the fastest but only in 6th and about a third of N's height (N is the tallest on the team... I know you're not surprised)! Good luck this weekend!!
