Picture: CALUM ROBERTSON Source: adelaidenow AT 14, Jason Goss is already playing his seventh season of competitive junior football for Edwardstown. Support and encouragement from his mum Yvette has been central to his desire to play and his commitment to the sport. It's always good to have a family member watch you play. Mum puts in a lot for me," Jason said. It's good to at least have someone to talk to if I have a good game - I ask grandpa or mum how I did and look for feedback. Yvette has never missed one of Jason's games and attends every training session. She has always helped out in the canteen and with the barbecue on game days and this year has volunteered to be a trainer. For the family, junior football has been more about the sense of community, belonging and enjoyment than it has been about winning. "Jason is fairly competitive so I would like him to do well but ... it's (winning) not the be-all and end-all," she said.
