After watching several basketball games over the last 22 years, I have finally figured one thing out as a parent. And that is that we should never allow the game and how our children play it (be it good or bad) to become bigger than the love we have for our children.
"Basketball is only a game, it's not life", whether our children excel in it at the level or with the passion that we so desire really doesn't matter. But what does matter is that we love them unconditionally.
In the end, when it's all over, we should hope that they remember that we loved them for who they were and not because they didn't live up to our expectations through athletics.
Signed,
Something I've learned as a parent
