I’m watching young children play organized basketball. Most of them don’t want to dribble the ball. They just run down the court and shoot. The parents and the grandparents seated in the bleachers applaud and cheer loudly for the kids who score a basket. But not the coaches.
The coaches make it a point to cheer and give high-fives to the kids who unselfishly pass the ball to a teammate, allowing someone else to get the glory. In its own small way, the game will teach these little tots the importance of sharing your opportunities and blessings with others. A virtue that will bring them much joy and peace throughout their lives.
Pass the ball to somebody today.
When they learn the joy of giving, they will be passing the ball all the time.
Maybe they should learn about soccer midfielders and strikers. Luka Modric would be a go way to teach them. Have a fantastic day, and keep up the good work.
Thanks Jo. Good advice.
