When I began my first year of kickball, I wasn’t athletic, I had asthma and I didn’t have much of an idea of how to play. Slowly but surely, every practice, I would learn more and more about how the game functioned. My first year wasn’t great, none of us on the team had any conception of what we were doing, but the significant thing was that we were all working in conjunction as diligently as we could at every practice to develop our skills. After the first game, we began to grasp the notion that the more that we supported each other during the game, the better we did on the field. Throughout the season, our coach made it clear to us that it didn’t matter if we won or lost, as long as we tried our best, stayed enthusiastic, and enjoyed ourselves.
