Teaching a little girl how to shoot a basketball.
At practice one of our players came up to me and said:
Player: Mrs. Brittany I don't want to do this.
Me: Umm, well, we should practice shooting...
Player: But I practice a lot and I don't get any better. ... I just get worse.
Imagine the sweetest, poutiest voice you ever heard.
So I took an extra few second, minutes and showed her how to shoot. Mine you, I have no idea how to shoot other than what I read in my coaches manual. But I studied that manual hard...
And it worked. Smile on face, that girl was proud. And boy was I proud of her. She even showed her mom after practice, and now she's more than likely better at shooting than I am.
Maybe I should have been a coach... or teacher ?? (I guess to my patients I am sort of a nutrition teacher, lol).
Loving coaching, loving the sweet girls on my team. Loving the way God uses me even when I am not qualified at all...
Sweet Britt,
