Theodore Learns About a Soccer Goalkeeper

Theodore the turtle loved watching sports. One day, he saw a tall man catching a ball with big gloves.

"Who's that?" Theodore asked his friend, a wise old soccer ball.

"That's Christopher Seitz," the ball replied. "He was a soccer goalkeeper."

Theodore's eyes widened with excitement. The ball shared some fun facts:

• Chris started playing soccer when he was young.
• He went to college and won a big game there.
• He played for many different teams in America.

"What does a goalkeeper do?" Theodore wondered.

The ball explained:

• A goalkeeper stops the other team from scoring goals.
• They wear special gloves to catch the ball.
• Chris played this position for 14 years!

Theodore learned that Chris did something very kind. He took a break from soccer to help a sick person he didn't even know.

As the sun set, Theodore thanked the ball for teaching him about Christopher Seitz. He couldn't wait to tell his turtle friends about the exciting job of a soccer goalkeeper.
