PW#4 2 goals!

This was one of the rarest things that happens in sports! On Saturday, I did something that totally surprised me. It was a nice day outside for soccer and it was our last game of preseason. We wanted to end on a high note (we did!). We were playing against Vancouver United, and before the game started I had a good chat with my coach talking about the future to me as a player, basically how far he thinks I can go. Our assistant coach was going over corner kicks with us, I told myself that I was going to score a header. Soon the game started and I was feeling confident, at the start of the game, both teams were feeling each other out. The other team was aggressive, I was getting crunched by their players. It got to the point where I was about to ask the coach for a substitution, but in my head, I said that I had to persevere through it. After about 40 minutes we were dominating, we also had a corner kick. I was on the right side of the goalie and the ball came in focused on the ball. Then BAM!! it went into the near post off my header, the feeling is something you can not describe. This was not the first time I have scored off a corner as well. During half-time our coach was pleased not satisfied though. Then in the 65th minute we had another corner, this time I was in front off the goalie. The ball came in perfectly, I     redirected the ball off my head into the far post top corner. After those 2 goals, I thought how rare it is for the same player to score off a corner kick. We scored another goal after that, which I was involved in. The game ended 3-1. They were a decent team, but we just outclassed them on and off the ball. Overall, it was a great preseason for the team (4wins-1draw-4losses) and for me as a player (6 goals). During the actual season I know that we will have a great season and I will score and provide a lot of goals.
