When your kid is playing – time evaporates.

40 minutes? Feels like 4.

You’ve just settled into your folding chair, taken your first sip of coffee and…

🔔 Whistle. Halftime.

“Wait, that’s it?!” – you stare at your watch like it's a knockoff souvenir from a gas station in Nevada.

When your kid is on the bench... 🧍‍♂️

Each minute drags like molasses.

You’re in full-on sideline astronomer mode – eyes locked on the coach like a telescope, hoping for a signal.

Anytime a player clutches their leg – you’re mentally lacing up your kid’s cleats. 🙏

Everything flashes by in a blur.

Seconds later – another whistle.

“Wait... it’s over already?!”
