Today my boys played their 1st game of basketball. 3 weeks of practice on Sundays and their skills were put to test. One thing is they have to play in order to put these skills to test. My oldest son sat the bench! He still learning.....It's kind of hard to learn the fundamentals of the game when you only get to play 2 minutes in the first game and less than 2 minutes in the 2nd game.
My heart ached for him. He had tears in his eyes at the end of the last game. He came over to the bleachers and threw his shoes down....and said "I don't wanna play anymore!" I felt so bad for him. I hate the fact that he had to already experience some of life's downfalls. It's so unfair to him. He tries at everything. What little time he did play, we thought that he played well. He has a disadvantage from some of the other kids. He has a learning disability and for him go out there and give it his all is a great accomplishment. I was proud of him today! You did a great job my son!
