I thought this essay was hilarious. The essay seemed realistic as if I was reading someones diary. The thoughts the narrator has are really funny. One funny thing the narrator does is when he asks the mothers of some of the players, "Why are you telling me how to do my job. Its not like I show up in your kitchen and tell you when to bake cookies."
Klosterman's creative way of giving the narrator off as a real person as by having real thoughts are amazing. It pretty rare when an author sits back and let's the character tell the story.
I like how he really expresses how he feels about soccer. I love when the narrator goes back to where he had a summer job as a little league baseball coach. All that time I think he's just gonna talk about another sport that he hates, but he soon connects it with his hatred of soccer. When I thought about the point that he made about the mothers wanting to change how he coached the team, it seemed to be true. It seems as if the mothers actually wanted to change how he coached, and it was like how soccer is played. Klosterman's way of doing the connection I thought was really creative.
