something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, and a
visibn.

in general, you should consider that the character children gain from
involvement in athletics carries over into their everyday perceptions

certainly get noticed not just'by children but by other parents. By
offering praise and providing encouragement to ALL players on the
field, even the opponents, you are s~ing an example that I'd like to
think all Behave like an
adult and realize (or field)
deserves encouragement, respect and wo~s of kindness.
4. FOCUS AND PERSONAL GRATIFICATION: A child's involvement
