Somewhere in Utah at a recent youth soccer game, a young boy went airborne after taking a shot in the face from a ball kicked by the other team.
According to the video description, posted by the boy's father, "My son learned a lesson the hard way. When kicking off in soccer, Don't kick it to the best guy on the other team! Best thing of all is that he got up and kept playing and his team ended up scoring. What a tough kid."
We'll have to take his word for it. However, he had a good point: the key is to get back up after you get knocked down.
Fortunately, the kid can not be identified from the video, so he can always deny this was him, and years from now no one will know the difference.
H/T Dirty Tackle.
