What he loves the most is that he is having fun no matter if his team is winning or loosing, he knows that it’s a game and that he tried his best. He loves that even if they lose they still get a trophy for being the best . He loves that it’s just a game and he is enjoying every moment with being with friends.
He says that his 2 uncles that played AAU basketball is who inspires him. His older uncle inspires him as well because he has been playing basketball for 20 years. But his 2 uncles that played in AAU inspired him because he seen the scholarships that my brothers had gotten from playing basketball and one of them is in college right now and the other one is going next year and watching them play through their high school years made him want to be better and just like them when he grows up.
2 years ago my son played baseball for the first time. He has never hit a baseball a day in his life because at the time he was only playing basketball and football only for 4 years straight. Long story short his first year of baseball he made the all stars. He was hitting it outfielder and bunting and still making it home. He never struck out or anything. I was so proud when they called his name first for ALL STARS.
