football practice has started for my middle-school aged son , and he 's playing a few different positions . he 's doing well in all of them , and he has a genuine interest and desire to get better , too . i 'm glad i raised someone who could care about something deeply that is good.i always loved sports as a kid and did well i never played them . never had the interest or athletic spirit . but i got him into them so he 'd have some discipline and structure . it is a great way to learn that.im glad i was able to learn those values .
His son's genuine interest, dedication, and skill in sports triggered the feeling of pride.
