Annual Jr. High basketball tryouts... SW hasn't done diddly squat all summer. He went out to "play" with me twice during the fall. And I guess he has PE and his elective. I will say... his handles has improved and he's much stronger and quicker than last year. So his skills are head and shoulders above his 7th grade self.
Results came out today... and SW bashfully says, he's the 12th best player on A-team!! SW made A-team!!! But oh... he knows full well... he's going to be riding bench the entire time.
Rewind a year ago... and two years ago... when he didn't make the top teams of his grade... and how disappointed he was. In 6th grade... he ended up being MVP. In 7th grade... he ended up being starting point guard and MVP, again. This year.... he admits... maybe he should be downgraded, just so he can get play time.
It's that whole concept of big fish, little pond. Or climbing the mountain, only to be at the bottom of the apex. When does it end for my little David who's battling his life full of Goliaths?
CONGRATS to SW. So proud of his achievements!!
