Team Sports

As a kid all I knew was sports. Basketball. Tennis. Baseball. Soccer. Football. You name it and I probably played it. And I loved every single minute. I loved the competition. I loved the euphoria of victory. But most of all, I loved having a team around me that I knew I could count on and they knew they could count on me. And not just on the field but off it as well.

the things you learn playing sports, particularly team sports, are lessons that cannot be taught in many other areas. And this is one of the reasons we want our boys to play sports. Yes, we want them to have fun. And hopefully they are good and want to keep on playing for as long as they can. But we want them to have all of the experiences and opportunities we had growing up.

I am coaching our oldest son’s baseball team and I think he is starting to get some of this already. And I am very excited for him. And proud. And yes, he loves to play. And yes, he is good. Hopefully he gets out of it all that I did and more.
