My 12yr old is obsessed with the game. Her knowledge advantage helps to close any ability gaps with her peers at this age. Her football IQ is off the charts for her age. Watches any game on tv, listens to breakdown podcasts and absorbs info any way she can.

@vasolsurfer17@calecampbell88 We live in Central Virginia and all of the middle school teams are club players. My daughter has solid club teammates that didn’t even make their middle school teams. That’s how competitive it is.

I have no idea if LeBron can will this #Lakers group to three more, but it must be said that the level at which he is playing at age 41 is unprecedented. Whatever your perspective is on him, if you can’t appreciate this level of historical greatness I don’t know what to tell you.
Modern parents suck so badly and are ruining their children because of it.
