Dillon's Basketball

 Dillon played basketball for the first time this year.  Daddy went to almost all of his practices and would work with him a little during and after the practices.  The coaches seemed to be having a hard time directing the kids so most of what Dillon learned was because of that extra Daddy did.  Dillon pratically ran himself into the ground each practice because he gives it his best.  He made huge strides this year and he wants to play again next year.  His natural defensive mindset held true in basketball.  There were several times the coach would ask Dillon to just hang out by the basket to guard whomever got close to shoot.  The coach actually said he wishes he had five Dillon's because he listens and does what he supposed to which would make a great team.  It took him a little while to build up the confidence to be more assertive and try to shoot himself.  Even with the hesitation he typically had a least one basket per game even though his teammates were bad about passing.  He always overcomes his hesitation, no matter what sport he's playing.  He thinks about the game and understands the way it works.  Between that and how much he commits himself to working hard and getting better, he's going to be a great all around athlete.
