Shin Guards Rock!

OK. One thing that I have learned from my soccer games this year is that shin guards benifit you more than just protecting your shins! In almost every game this year one of the "good kickers" on the other team kicks the ball and I am right in front of it. Next thing I know I feel a slight tap on the shin guard and the ball is flying the other way!! LOL! "Didn't hurt!" I would say as the other team stared at me in awe. Shin guards are very helpful! LOL!
