365 ~ 2015: Day 46

David playing some fierce defense in the tournament over the weekend.  They lost in the semi-finals in one of the most heartbreaking endings I have witnessed in kid sports.  The other team came back to tie and eventually move ahead.  We were down by one point and got the ball back with 5 seconds to go.  The other team fouled our player, shoving him out of bounds as the buzzer sounded so he wasn't able to get in that one last shot.  Refs called a foul giving our player two shots.  He would have the chance to tie it with the first shot and win it all with the second.  He was all alone on the court, and you could have heard a pin drop it was so quiet.  He missed his first shot and then, unfortunately, his second shot.  The tears flowed.  My feels hurt so badly!  It's too much pressure for a 4th grader to have on his shoulders and you could tell he felt like he let his team down.  Hopefully after some tears and reflection, he'll realize that he didn't let anyone down and he should be proud of how he played.  File this under "good life lessons"!
