chip off the old block

[mellowyellow]

when I was growin up, I was a major sports nut<br />and played every organized sport I could. of course<br />back then there wasn't much else to do, but I was<br />and still am a huge competitor. my first born son<br />was never into sports even though I tried to get<br />him involved. he's a great kid, just not a jock<br />like his dad and that's cool. my 6yr old is a diff.<br />story alltogether though. he had his first taste<br />of organized team sports today (soccer) and he was<br />a terror on the field! he scored 2 goals in the<br />first quater and no-one could stop him. after he<br />totally dominated, coach put him in goal in a token<br />of good sportsmanship. game ended 2-0 as he also<br />got a shut-out <br />MY one proud daddy today!

My daughter is competitive. Played goalie in high school(hockey). Has no fear. Was screwed over by her coach(brought in another goalie who had a name). Let it up to her to quit. Stayed on.<br /> My son has never cared about sports. Likes fishing but not as much as I would like. Go figure. <br /> Good to see you don't push or favor one over the other. Everyone should be allowed to do what they want and then do it the best one can. <br /> Don't push the jock but be there. Thats all we can do for our childern.
