on playing point guard (2016)

It can be a tricky thing to steer your kids towards both where their interests and their greatest potential lie.  This year, Jack has been dabbling in some new sports.  And while I can appreciate that he has to try a variety of sports to figure out what clicks, I long for his sports palate to mature.  It seems that my gentle attempts to steer have failed as he has: dropped soccer to play flag football, quit tennis, started swim team, and now has taken a big interest in basketball.  Let's just say that while basketball is certainly an important life skill, I'm having considerable difficulty being captivated.
