IT's 5 Minute Friday....been a while but gonna give it a go....
1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community.

OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes on:

Opportunity…
Opportunity knocks...or so the saying goes...
But unfortunately many children who play sports today don't get an opportunity at all...
Coaches are worried about winning games instead of developing skill and building confidence.
Players are pinned at an extremely young age as bench warmers or starters...
Today I am counting my blessings and whispering up thanks for our middle boy's baseball coach...
Who after two games, I can already tell is all about opportunity for every player...
We may not win all of the games....may not come close by a long shot!
But two nights ago my sweet boy was glowing after he had an opportunity to stand on the mound and throw some hard balls in a game...
Thankfully someone opened the door of opportunity for him and in doing so allowed some confidence to build up big...
3 UP.......3 DOWN!
...and the smile on his face after was priceless!!!

I had a big smile on my face when I finished your blog post. We all need someone to give us an opportunity to succeed ... whether it be coaches, teachers, parents, friends ...
What a great way to reflect on that. (Stopping by from Five Minute Friday)
