Improved Ice skills but Now Diet Takes Precedence

The past few months, hockey has slowed down to a once a week venture. During the past year Andrew unfortunately has had his problems dealing with a weight gain. An unhealthy weight gain that has forced me to take action. Lose 6 kg before August 1 or no winter camp in Nymburk. Slow progress last week, but he did drop 1 kg. Andrew is finally having fun playing street hockey and roller blading. Both will help him as he progresses in this sport.
Positives: he sees the game better and he isn't so apt to just get rid of the puck before passing. He is becoming stronger on his skates, not falling down with every bump....still needs improvement however. He is getting a bit more savvy with the puck and wants to try new things because his stick handling has improved.
The Indonesian team wishes to go to Malaysia this September...not certain if Andrew will attend. We will see how finances are before we commit.
All in all, there has been progress...I would love to take him out to play with some older kids to improve his skating and awareness. I just have to find the right opportunity.
