as long as he is enjoying it I will be there to support it, he works very hard even if he's not the most gifted athlete. But I won't lie and pretend I didn't like it when he did acting and nobody got concussed.
Growing up, I always imagined/dreamed of playing sports (at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels). Knowing full well that, because of my disability, I wouldn't be able to, all I had was my imagination and all of my dreams. Most of my dreams revolved around the simple fact that I was the very best at what I did, and I made the winning shot (basketball), scored the winning goal (hockey), made the winning catch/hit/strikeout (baseball), made the winning catch/pass/kick (football).
I think it is safe to say that if it weren't for my disability, I would have at least played some sort of a sport at the high school level.
I think that it is also safe to say that football most likely would NOT have been my first choice. Because of the risk involved with it. Too many freak injuries. Too many concussions.
I would have most likely stuck with baseball or basketball (I always pictured myself being a baseball player over any other athlete).
