The Power of Sports

Last Friday, I had a chance to jump into a basketball game and referee an intramural basketball game of fourth grade girls while Mr. M. did his thing with the boys game on the other half of the gym. FUN!

As I watched the girls play, I couldn't help but think of how important exercise and team based sports are. Huge!

Then this weekend, I coached my son's AAU basketball team. We've won 2 games out of 14. Anyhow, the team makes this miraculous comeback, (I mean miraculous), and they win, beating an undefeated team. It was crazy what happened.

As I reflect back on it now, I am reminded of how important sports can be for kids and it's necessary place in education.
