I have been coaching kids in my community for years now, watching them develop physical skill and mental awareness over time. It is so interesting to see their personalities reflected in their play patterns: the aggressive vs. the timid, the joyful vs. the careful, the do-ers vs. the watchers. If we could leap ahead in time and see these kids as adults, I'm fairly certain that the same tendencies would be displayed. Personalities are shaped early, perhaps too our destinies.

What a great call on kids and the impact...
Lately I've been really paying attention to the concept of the wake one leaves behind as a leader, read: coach, dad, mom, sibling, manager... what ever... who knows the ripple effect of your coaching today to the impact to those kids to whom you refer, but perhaps to their kids... all the more reason to be paying attention, to our personal mindfulness as we approach our own efforts, let alone to those times we are "in support." Great call...
