Paul is willing to play second string on the Tangerine Middle School soccer team because he was completely barred from playing soccer at Lake Windsor Downs due to an unfair interpretation of his IEP. He’s excited to be back on the field, and second string is better than water boy, his position at Lake Windsor Downs. He sees this as a chance to start over.
Paul also recognizes that the Tangerine Middle School soccer team is really good and far better than the “toe stubbers” at Lake Windsor Downs. He’s honored to be a part of something so special.
Paul also knows that goalies always get injured, so he has a good chance of getting playing time.
This also tells us about Paul’s personality. Unlike his brother Erik, Paul is happy to let others take the limelight if they deserve it. He doesn’t always have to be the center of attention. He’s a team player!
