This year Jake has decided to branch out and give basketball a shot. He is a baseball kid for sure, but his friend Jeron Johnson's Dad is the coach of there Junior Jazz team, and he had mentioned to Jake that he should come and play on their team.
Today was the first game, and for many of the kids on Jake's team it was their first year playing. Well when we showed up at the gym for the game this morning their was the other team. They were HUGE!! They seriously looked like they were in High School, and they were really good.
Well needless to say Jake and his teammates were a bit intimidated and although they did their best, they did not win this game. I asked Jake after the game if he had a good time playing today. He said that he had, and I then told him that was why he was playing. It isn't always about winning, but going out and having fun moving, and running and playing ball. He agreed and said he was real excited for the next week to practice and get better at this new sport.
He will be great, I am sure. I am so grateful that he has the desire to get out and play. I can remember playing sports and having so much fun with my friends and team mates.
What a great start to the new year.
