Need Advice
Hey guys,
I miss everyone more than you know. We lost our game today in Barcelona 2-1. I played the last 20 minutes and I was proud of myself. Aragon sports wrote about me on the internet and my first game with the team, it says :Alberto Berna dio entrada a la californiana Lauren Leslie, que debutó con el Prainsa Zaragoza y jugó con corrección. Alberto is my coach, and it says i had my debute and played with correction...haah whatever that means, it think it is good!!
The issue is, I followed my dream coming here, but now im wondering if it was really the right dream. I am glad i came, but I am really missing home. Not just my freinds and family, but my life, and coaching. I really enjoy coaching and sharing my passion and I think I am seeing it might be what i want. Here soccer is more of a job. Soccer is not a job to me it is a passion. I am slowly learning spanish, but not being able to communicate is horrible for me. I am the kind of player who likes to talk and inspire the team, that is one of the things i do well., and here i can not do that and it kills me. There is so much i want to say to the team and i cant. I cant be the player i want to be, playing well isnt enough for me. This team needs inspiration, it needs to be on the same page. There is a lot of individuals, who only care about themselves, and i want us to unite. I dont play soccer for myself really i think..i love the team stuff, but what good are the long bus rides if i can only speak so much...and not be fully me. I know it will come in time, but can i wait that long.
So now I am wondering if I can share my passion through coaching? I want to share how great soccer is with people..I loved seeing the Blues girls i coached getting so excited for games. And I know I will be a good coach, cus i have had the best coaches and bad ones, so i think i know how to treat players, and how to coach them into being good people not just players. I wont have favorites, and put people down... I don´t know. I am just really missing home, and im finding things very hard right now... I was so blessed back in california and now I am seeing that.
Thanks for listening guys! Love you all

First game in Spain!
Hey everyone,
I have a small update. Today I played in my first game in spain. We won 6-3! I played right back the whole second half. I am so happy, and so thankful to be playing soccer. The team is Prainsa Zaragoza if you want you want to look it up. I got number 3 and it says Leslie on the back of my shirt, loveeeeeeee ittt haha. Hopefully I stay here for awhile because I am enjoying Spain and the people. Just need to learn some spanish! Hope all is well. I miss you amigos, familia, y Blues!
