Another win in Flag Football
Today was picture day in flag football. We were 2 minutes from the fields when Mark Jr. realized he forgot his jersey. So we race back home, get the jersey and head back to the fields. We made it just in time for our pictures.
I’m trying to get Mark Jr. to understand about competitiveness. He enjoys playing football but has been treating it like a backyard game instead of a competitive game. Mom’s don’t understand this sometimes and Dad’s try to explain it to them. There is no smile as your running or catching or playing (most of the time). Its concentration and aggression. You celebrate good things, you get upset at things that don’t go your way. That is getting “in the zone.” He has a problem getting in the zone.
Well today that changed. He is trying much harder in karate and flag football. He usually plays center and nose tackle. Very few times does anyone get past him if they are within his reach. Today he got 5 flags. That is pretty good.
In the end we won 16-6. We are on a winning streak!
