Sept. 28, 2008 - Alone With His Thoughts

What goes through the mind of a seven year old at moments like this? Will I play well today? Will we win? Will my coach be happy with my performance?

Or, more likely, what the heck am I doing here and why do I have to carry around this helmet that weighs almost as much as I do? I wonder what Mommy bought to eat? Why does the other team look so big?

My only hope is that he's having fun. Otherwise, what's the point?
