The boy becomes a man...

The Playmaker started his flag football camp this morning, frying in the 90+ degree heat from 9-12. He then had a private swimming lesson from 3:30-4. Around 5 PM, we were outside riding bikes with The Playmaker's Sister when he came out to shoot hoops. Without saying a word, he began working on a new shot. Gone was the two handed push shot from the waist that propelled him to be the Unofficial MVP of the second grade league last winter. In its place was a correct shot form. Left hand on the side of the ball. Right hand cocked back, elbow and arm making a 90 degree angle. Was it an instant success?!? No. In fact, it took him about 10 shots before he got one to fall. However, over the next 15 minutes he got much better. And that improvement continued while we played three games of 1-1. The Playmaker has always balled like a man. Now he is beginning to shoot like one.
