I've noticed a really nice and consistent PMA in you. Keep it up. It sounds like it's working for you.
Like Lisa, my childhood soccer team was like herding cats. I actually remember being kicked out of a game because I kept talking to the goalie on the other team and my coach seemed to think that was not very helpful. Oh well. Turns out soccer wasn't really my thang. All that running... now I only run when chased. LOL
