Basketball…

Jack’s basketball season is nearing the end.  He has two more games left.   Over the weekend Jack probably had one of his worse games.

It wasn’t that he played that poorly, it was the first time he didn’t score a basket for this team.   I told Jack to pass I just didn’t think he would pass every single time.  

We played a pretty bad team so instead of Jack scoring double figures like usual I told him to pass so some other teammates could score for the first time.  As a coach I was happy to see the other kids score.  As a dad, I was sad that Jack had to play a lesser role.   Oh well, Jack still had fun.

Ask Jack what the score was? I bet he can't tell you what the score was but I'm sure he can tell what the snacks were after the game!

Snacks are really the only reason games are fun at that age. one only hopes that the "good" parent has snack duty that day.

I think it's great that you're teaching Jack not to be a ball hog!!!
