A new one-handed basketball season
"That little girl with one hand can really play," exclaimed a man sitting a few seats down from me during Jordan's first game of the season.I was beaming with pride.Jordan is a basketballer. She really is. And I'm proud of how she played in her first game of the season. Jordan worked to get to this point.Last year was her first season and she loved it so much, she attended Nubability Athletics' summer camp to work on her skills. Sure, she still needs to work on dribbling and looking forward at the same time. She should also keep practicing her shooting skills. But she has as much confidence on the court as all the other girls. It's awesome.Even better, when I shared pictures of Jordan playing on the Born Just Right Facebook page, two of her summer basketball coaches left comments and that got Jordan even more excited. She loves knowing they checked in on her progress.We have a month and a half of games each weekend. I can't wait to see her continued progress on the court. It's amazing to see her skills (and her teammates) when you compare everyone from a year ago.Jordan may be a really busy kid with all of her activities, but it's such a huge confidence boost. Dance, running, basketball, softball... You name it, she's probably tried it. I feel very fortunate we can give her all of these opportunities to push her limits and be active. Jordan really doesn't see limitations. She just sees all kinds of ways to have fun.
