Igor & Sports

Igor is adventuresome and wants to make the most of the opportunities his exchange provides him. He has played soccer and basketball in Russia, so he's decided while he's here he'll try new sports.

He's been a wonderful addition to Coquille's J.V. football team. When he arrived, he didn't even know how to play football. In effort to be a most excellent host family we tried to teach him, but I twisted my ankle in the second play of the game and that was the end of that. The high school coaching staff has done a much better job and now he has won awards for his blocking. He's made some great tackles (both on the field and at home...) and we have had so much fun attending his games.

Football season will wrap up soon, and then he'll be trying another new sport: wrestling.
