Basketball

Lincoln has been playing basketball with our YMCA. This has been an interesting experience for us, well me at least, to really watch Lincoln interact with other kids, be part of a team and listen and follow directions from a coach. I like Lincoln's coach, Shannon. For her it's more about having fun and developing skills instead of winning and I am glad that has been her approach instead of "winning is all that matters"...

Email from Lincoln's coach:
 "I wanted to mention I'm really impressed with Lincoln's progress in basketball, it's amazing how he's grown especially in the past three weeks. His dribbling is great, he wants to play defense and he has the knack for wanting to have the ball. The shooting will come later when he gets a bit bigger."

Shawn got the opportunity to coach the team twice while Lincoln's regular coach was out of town. He had a good time working with the kids and who knows maybe he will get to do it again.
