She was incredibly nervous. Being one of the tiniest on her own team has never bothered her. But seeing the size of their competitors had her completely panicked. Many of them towered head and shoulders above her. Next to them she looked so tiny and vulnerable - I was so worried that my little baby (because that's what she looked like next to them) would get trampled.
But she held her own - beautifully. One of the other parents nicknamed her ''Glue-fingers'' because no matter how the ball was passed to her, she managed to catch (and hold onto it) effortlessly. She was also responsible for one of her school's very few goals.
Which is probably why her school's coach chose her to be their school's Player of the tournament. (Each school coach selected one player from her own team to receive this award).
