There are so many positive things kids can get from playing sports. And it's always nice to hear examples of those who "get it". I thought you might enjoy hearing Anthony's story. He's a former Arkansas football player who decided to use his love of sports to help kids and be a role model. ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/2082 Our site is sponsored by Mutual of Omaha and it contains "aha moments" both big and small but all inspiring in their own way! Thanks again and have a great day! -Mike <abbr><em>Mikes last blog post..<a href="http://www.ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/3878" rel="nofollow">A simple idea.</a></abbr></em> Great post!

In the beginning I tried to send my girl - Curly- to swimming lessons, karate, and ballet. Now she goes only to the ballet classes, because she likes them best. I think it's important to offer your kid more choices and sooner or later he/ she will decide. And also it's important to try more sports out. Winning comes when he/she grows and will know to dance at a party, play football with friends, swim...etc. I agree that sports are good for children both for their mind and body and that winning is not everything.
