Coach M. Foster

Another Coach: Are you worried other QBs are throwing all winter and your son is playing basketball? Me: Not one bit. He's on two teams. Hes sprinting, jumping, conditioning dribbling, shooting and passing. Hes finding space and closing space and learning to see the floor. Most importantly he's competing. He's competing hard in practices and in games 3 days a week. He's been in close games, overtime games, he's missed some big shots, he's hit some big shots, turned the ball over at the worst possible time and been beat on defense. He's been abused in games by better kids and he's dominated games. He's been happy, sad, pissed, wanted to quit, change teams and wondered how he could be on 🔥 one day and suck so bad the next. He's made new friends and played with different coaches with different personalities. Hes started games and sat the bench. He's been exposed to so much and learning to navigate all of it. So no, I'm not worried. We can start throwing in the spring when he'll probably be sick of hoops and ready for a change. #LTAD
