Mom and Dad holds Christopher accountable at such a young age and allow him to grow into whatever sport he chooses. They challenge him to finish the sport he chooses without giving up, even if it’s not a sport he likes. This inspires him to find things in the sport he can adapt to and make the sport fun.
His team going 0-8 and him scoring 26 touchdowns that year upset that he didn’t get a chance to play for a championship. The next year, he had to share the ball more due to adding other talent and won a championship. Chris replied dad, I’d take this championship over all my awards.
