Practice doesn’t make perfect. Deliberate, intentional practice makes perfect. Repetition is the key to success. We caught Colin practicing his rainbow at an OPA session between exercises. Players must train outside of structured sessions by themselves. Well done Colin 👏 Ohio Soccer Moms and DadsPowell Ohio Moms In The KnowLewis Center Area NetworkingPlain City moms in the knowWesterville Moms In The KnowSarah WytzkaJeff Wytzka
