Russ Johnson Some Meaningful Inspiration On A Day Of Remembrance
One of the things that I like to do in my spare time is to coach baseball. I started in the spring of 2006 when my youngest son was just turning 4 years old in March. Needless to say I was hesitant taking on such a responsibility at first. Even though I played baseball all my life from the time I was about 6 years old, I had no idea how I was going to coach a T-Ball team consisting of 4 and 5 year olds. The first day of practice was nerve racking for me. I was a total wreck most of the day and nothing I did seemed to prepare me for what I was about to experience. I had no idea what to expect, how to act, what to say. I mean, teaching your own child to play a sport is one thing. But being responsible for teaching baseball to a group of kids that are not even your own. Most people don't stop to think about that.
This is lovely. Just plain lovely. In my opinion all kids are very true of heart and genuinely good. Not to put a damper on things but I allways wonder why does it change? what influences people to be come so closed off emotionally and "unpure"? Im generalizing a bit, but I have seen incredible acts of kindness and sympathy from kids who I coach and am around through various things. In general people are astonished kids can be so good natured, personally Im astonished adults in general lose that part of themselves when the "grow up". I know it is a bit pessimistic and I apologize if it hurts the post but this has baffled me forever
In general people are astonished kids can be so good natured, but I think our chidren should have there own life and free space.
