Proud Dad Moment: Leadership
Cie's spring soccer team started practice this week. This is a new team. The coach has watched these athletes before. He is familiar with members of the team. During the first two practices, he has turned over the stretching/warm-up to Cie. On the first day, he got the kids in a group, looked at Cie and said, "You know what to do."

It is cool to see Cie recognized by an adult and placed in a position to lead. It is equally cool to see how the other athletes follow his lead.

Proud Dad Moment: Effort
Yesterday, my son, Cie had an indoor soccer game. His team won. Cie played a an average game. Nothing out of the ordinary. Following the game, a Dad approached Cie. He introduced himself as Paul. He shook Cie's hand. Paul went on to tell Cie that week in and week out he delivers an amazing personal effort. Paul is amazed by the individual performance that Cie delivers. Paul finished by saying, "When I am at home with my son (who plays on Cie's team) talking about what means to be good and a hard worker, you are the person I use as an example. I want my son to be like you."

That is an amazing thing for an adult (stranger) to say to a 12-year-old.
