If you know one thing about my oldest it’s that he LOVES soccer. He eats, sleeps, breathes soccer. He started playing when he first started elementary school as that’s our small town’s starting age. Ever since he’s never missed a season. As parents, we’ve enjoyed watching his love for the sport grow over the years and find it important to be encouraging young athletes to be strong willed and confident.
Being active in sports has really provided him with so much more than the game. It’s taught him sportsmanship and teamwork. It’s also taught him important life lessons and given him a lifetime of memories.
My husband has been an incredible support throughout the years. He’s helped immensely in the many, many games that Johnny has played in. There are times when Johnny was playing on three different teams at the same time. He’s also been able to play on teams that traveled all over New England to play. He’s even gone as far as coaching one of his team and for many years.
Now that Johnny is older it’s also a great way for him to be motivated. It motivates him to keep his grades up to remain eligible to play (he’s made honor roll all year!). It also motivates him to stay healthy and train to be fit for optimal performance.
Encouraging young athletes everywhere is important! There is potential in all of us. No matter what you achieve in life, you start in the same place as everyone else: as a kid full of potential and big dreams. At the end of the day, we are all “just a kid” from somewhere.
POWERADE understands this and has an amazing”Just A Kid” Campaign going on that helps support area athletes. POWERADE believes that with the right motivation these everyday athletes can realize their potential and one day be the athletes that they look up to. Sports have a major impact on our communities. Whether it is t-ball or the pros, every athlete in every league has a story waiting to be told.epresent your somewhere with custom “Just a Kid” apparel that features where you’re from
