My husband and I coached girls softball, and taught them that they can be both strong and smart by requiring good grades to play, and taking breaks during practice for homework questions.
My neighbor's son has been positively impacted by sports as he has been playing Pee Wee Baseball for years, and we support him.
My five year old son has struggled with all things social and starting school this year, has been tough to say the least but getting him into t-ball and mma has been the best choice we've made for him so far!
My daughter is a freshman in high school now and has just joined the basketball team. I'm so proud of her.
My son lives and breathes football. He will run and play catch with himself and knows more football stats than anyone I know. He drives me crazy sometimes with all the football talk but I wouldn't have it any other way.
My son races in moto sports and I am more than happy to support and encourage him to follow his dreams.
I have two grand daughters (14 and 11) who love sports. The eldest plays fast pitch baseball in our small city and she is the pitcher. Her dad is her best trainer! The youngest performs in jump rope and is already going to state competitions with her group. I am SO proud of these kids!
My son is shy and doesn't like to jump in to games on the playground, but he has started playing soccer and really opened up to being part of a group.
I work with several special-needs and differently-abled kids who get great benefits from riding horses in equine-assisted therapy. It's an amazing thing. I volunteer as often as I can!
My daughter found out that she loved softball and it got her out of her shell. She will now try anything!
my son cyclocross and mountain bike races in summer/fall, ski races in winter and somewhere in the also play soccer. He has learned so much from being on a team, working with others, how your attitude plays a part in life as well as just be yourself its ok not to follow a crowd, do what you enjoy.
My son loves track
Soccer helped transition my son into a new community after our move!
My fitness instructor recently lost a lot of weight from participating in team sports and running (along with dieting of course). I support her by joining her in her plight for fitness!
My niece used to be really shy until she joined the cross country and swim team. It's helped her make friends and she really loves playing sports!
