Yet another disappointing basketball game for Kraig's team. The final score was 19-32, of which, Kraig scored 15 points. There were however a few times in which Kraig used his very loud voice (don't know where he got that) to point out some calls that he thought were unfair. This morning over breakfast we discussed with Kraig that people do not like to watch "cry babies" on the court. We mentioned that there will be times that he doesn't agree with a call or there is a play that is missed by another player, and that he should not comment on those situations. It is better to be a hard working player, then one that is pointing out what is going wrong with the game. He took the conversation very well and I hope that he can remember that he doesn't control the game, and that he should just do the best job that he can. He did set some goals for himself after this game though. He is now focused on how to become a better player before 7th grade basketball try-outs next winter. Let's hope he sticks to those goals!

good but hard lesson for a kid to learn!
sounds like this season is a character-building season for him, hopefully it'll be better next year!
