Your Child's Passion...

Passion. There's nothing better as coaches and as sports parents than observing a child's passion towards a sport. When your child is watching a game live or on tv, or playing in a game, do you ever notice a sparkle in his eyes?

Our middle child is on a newly formed travel-lacrosse team. He played lacrosse for the last couple of years on a recreational team. We weren't too excited for our son to play travel lacrosse because his schedule is quite full.

Low and behold, we were wrong! This travel team has been fabulous. Our son's improvement in the game has been amazing - we see a sparkle in his eye every time he plays, and his confidence and self esteem have improved significantly.

We love to see a child's passion, excitement, interest, desire, or any form of love for the game. Isn't that what you want to see from your child? Have you seen your child's passion for a sport? Please share your stories with us!
