"White Dragons" won their first game and most importantly worked together as a team and had great sportsmanship! For the sake of Ben's mental state I was trying to think of a motivator for Daimon to WANT to kick the ball this year. He loved every minute of soccer last year and spent most of his time on the field shouting encouraging statements to his teammates rather than going after the ball. He was FULL of team spirit and had ZERO competitive spirit! He couldn't wait to play again this year so for a little motivation I told him he would get a quarter each time he kicked the ball during games.....all good parents bribe their children with money right???? Well wouldn't you know it, he earned $1.50 for his first game! Who said money was the root of all evil? That boy is sure motivated now.... way to go son! Ben was so inspired by his son's motivation he decided to run home from the game..... in his state of elation he misjudged the time and temperature and his speculated 1/2 hour run turned into 1 1/2 hours in over 100 degree weather! Maybe I should have promised him quarters too!
