Are You Clear On Why We Do It?

Clicking this link will take you to an article every parent, coach, and anyone invested in children's sporting activities should read. As we head into "The BIGGEST Game of the season" it is so very important that we ALL remember what this is really all about!

An excerpt of what you will find:

"If our purpose as parents and coaches isn't for our kids to have fun playing sports, to feel part of something, to build self-esteem, what is the purpose?

I think about Chris Zandstra and it seems to me everything he did was all about joy. I think about his family and his parents and it seems to me the times they spent watching Chris play were all about excitement, encouragement and love.

Why should it be different for parents who are fortunate to have healthy, athletic kids? Those intangible rewards should be our primary goals, not trophies or championships. Those should be our expectations, not statistics, not scholarships. Those should be the reasons our kids play — not to please us, not to make varsity, not to justify those expensive lessons."

I encourage everyone, parent's, coaches, and kids alike to click the link and read the entire article so that we will all be reminded of why we really do this!

Sending our prayers of blessings and peace to the Zandstra Family.
