Mason had his third regular season football game today. Thus far, his team is undefeated. After the game, he seemed down despite the team's overwhelming victory. When asked what was wrong, he said he was upset about a penalty he caused his team. We asked if his coach had gotten on to him thus creating the state of melancholy but he said no. He was just upset with himself for doing something he knew he shouldn't do and causing his team to pay a price. No adult yelled at him or made him feel bad for making a mistake. On his own accord, he was working through the feeling of letting your team down and learning from your mistakes. Life lessons that are priceless. Kids need sports!
