Magical man

Arden is in her second season of basketball.  Her coach is a coach from Halle's middle school, so he is serious and competitive with sports.  Naturally he's got these first and second grade girls doing a lot of things that are new to them.  

During the second game Arden became really frustrated and confused about what she was supposed to be doing.  Her coach had her playing different offensive positions and she just didn't understand. She was in tears and at a point where she didn't want to play anymore, so I had her talk with the coach.  He talked with her and encouraged her to keep trying and it would all get easier after a few games.  

So here we are tonight, after her third game and driving to her weekday practice.  In the car she says, "The second game I was so confused and didn't know what to do, but after the third game it was a whole lot easier and I did much better.  My coach was right.  He is like magical man or something because he knew exactly what would happen!"  She made sure to add,  "But not like God, because God is better than anyone.  But still kind of magical."

So now she loves basketball again.
