changed competition confidence drive early enjoy enjoyed fun game kids kinds learning pact point practices process routines sports time trusting wins worked year

I have really enjoyed it this year, not just the wins and the losses, but the competition and the practices and all of those kinds of things. It's a learning process that we all go through.
