Amateur Sports

Yesterday, I went to a boy's basketball game at the school I teach at. The boys played their hearts out to the very end, even though they were behind by 20+ points. And the students that were in the stands cheered just as loud at the end as they did at the beginning. It was fun to see that kind of support among the students. I love amateur sports for that reason. The best part is to watch the players make mistakse, learn from them, and come back from behind, or just play to the end and lose gracefully. It reminded me of watching my brother play sports in high school and how fun that was.
