This Sunday was the end of Allstars for our U11 team for little league. It was back to back losses, but this kid battled like a boss...
We couldn't be more proud of this young man. Sports can give you a lot of things, but when WINS are not one of them for the season, it can be so hard. We saw this young man develop in character, leadership, perseverance, mental toughness, discipline, focus, positivity, and grit... To be honest, as much as losing is hard, we got the privilege to see what this young man is really made of. We are so proud to be this kid's parents. Always keep battling buddy!

After the game, we had lunch at In-N-Out. We happened to arrive when a family from the opposing team arrived. the other dad had a chance to affirm Ryder and all the positions he had played and how hard he had battled. We had had the same chance to congratulate their player o the win. After we sat down, the other player came over with two gift cards, saying happy father's day to Kit and good game to Ryder. I cried. That moment was magic and I will never forget it...
