growing up a Haws, I learned to LOVE watching basketball.
I love watching my kids play. Abe decided to not try out for his school team, which at first was a lot to swallow since he is pretty good. But I also know it gets to be a lot, with soccer and school and traveling to games. We decided to pull back, follow their lead, and it was AWESOME!
I absolutely LOVED watching Abe play county ball. He had so much fun, played hard, and was competitive. It's great exercise and I really loved not dragging my kids around the whole state for games every night. Kai decided to play basketball but stop before March league which is when soccer picks up. Since soccer is what my boys want to focus on, basketball became a hobby this year. I think these days you have to have courage to say, I want this to be a hobby and not my focus. It is more important for us to have some family time and not be crazy over scheduled.
Best decision.
"Good, better, best" like Elder Oaks described is sometimes not the easiest thing to actually do.
Gpa would be proud because he always says, "shoot first, shoot second, shoot third."
Kai added a lot to his team and his coach depended on him to control the ball and Abe definitely didn't hesitate to shoot. Good times!
