My oldest boy, age 12, played in his first tackle football game a few weeks back. He played sparingly as a receiver – inserted here and there with the ball never being thrown in his direction. His team lost. Not surprisingly, he wasn’t overly excited about playing through the remainder of the season like he had been prior to the first game. His vision of how things were supposed to go didn’t quite equate to how things actually went.
