Playing sports is very much a part of me since I can remember. I am looking forward to experiencing the same with Kyle as much as I can.
I’ve played a lot of games. When I was about 4 years old (that’s the earliest I could remember) I used to run playing tags with other kids in front of our house. As far as I can remember, I always enjoy playing games.
Early school years is no different. I’m always part of a group of kids running playing tag, then tigso, then tumba lata then many more. Let me see if I can list them all here:
- Shatong
- Takyan
- Piko
- damang fight
- Kite flying
- Chinese Garter
- Arm wrestling
- Table Tennis
- Softball
- BMX biking
- Basketball
- Volleyball
- Mountain Biking (cross country and off road)
- badminton
What feeling remains in me with all this games is a feeling of enjoyment. My dad love basketball and I remembered him watching me play the varsity basketball in my elementary — I wasn’t an outstanding ball player that I know of. All I have is potential. I wasn’t able to cash in on this potential — as I said, what remains is the feeling of enjoyment. Is this enough – I ask myself from time to time – I always play safe and conclude that I’m contented and happy with my sports.
Now, Kyle is around. And like me, I find him an eager kid who likes to move around. I’ve started training Kyle in badminton. With his formal training, I’m injecting my own values that I believe he needs to instill in himself to be a better player. I don’t want to control Kyle — what I want is for him to get the most of the experience and enjoy it at the same time. I also want him to learn and become a better athlete, kid because of this activity.
