Sadie and Kaden did this soccer camp early in August. It was hot and a lot of work and they didn't really love it, lol.
Sadie's team played in the Wasatch tournament in August. It was a fun tournament and a fun time spent with Sadie in Layton and Farmington. We stayed at the same hotel as a few of her friends that was connected to the mall so they went swimming together and shopping.
During the actual tournament, Sadie was having some foot pain. This was just the start. We spent months trying to figure out what to do about it. Let's just say it affected her game tremendously. She was cut from the claret team earlier in the summer after tryouts, and that was emotional and tough. But we were excited about having Tenley on her team and her dad as the coach. There are a couple other girls that she's played with before and all in all I was hopeful that it would go well. But then her feet started hurting. And Sadie was not able to play like she used to. I kept thinking how bad this would've been on the other team. Daric is a doctor and also just a friend and he was very understanding and wanted her to take time off and get it figured out. At first I thought it was just severs disease, but the pain seemed to be in a different spot. I thought maybe it was the cleats she was wearing because I had pulled them up from storage and that's when the pain started but she said it wasn't. Daric blamed it on dancing, with all the tip-toes, and that may have contributed. I took her to the foot Dr and they did an x-ray and found an accessory navicular, which is an extra bone in the foot that can cause problems. Especially when pulling on it on tip-toes, or kicking soccer balls on that bone. And I think the cleats just rubbed in the wrong spot. So we got new cleats, made an appointment with a physical therapist, etc, etc. It was a constant problem but she tried to deal. Until later when her knee started hurting... but I'll get to that another time.
