He works very hard, and it is not always possible. It's a lot of pressure, this club sport world, but he has dreams of future playing, too...also dependent on how tall he grows...so he keeps working hard. It's 7:30 a.m. here in California and he is off running the hills of our neighborhood. It's becoming REALLY clear to me why I never played club sports (-:<br /><br />LOVED the comments from yesterday. Opinions! I love strong opinions!<br /><br />Jep -- you and yours are in my prayers.
