As my daughter sets with me at lunch and starts talking about something that was said in a program got me thinking about a conversation I had with one of our basketball players.
We are from a small town. We have recently been through some drama with our basketball team. It's all well now, but for about 2 wks it was tense around here. (our boys were undefeated in district at this point.) During this time I had a player come in just not feeling well and had a lot on his mind. As he began to tell me what was going on with him he made this comment, "You know...." He had assumed I knew what he had told me. I had no clue. It makes me sad he thought everyone was talking about him and his situation. I love my small town, but some times it sucks. No wonder we have so many kids walking around with shame, regrets, depression and anxiety.
