I love the creator of sports!

Something about a ball

Despite the disappointment of losing or the embarrassment of a mistake,

something about what you can do with a ball makes it so worth it.

With your hands, feet, a bat, a stick, or a glove,

How you kick it, catch it, throw it, hit it, or shoot it.

The injuries, the salty skin, the uniform tan lines.

So worth it.

The competition, the heavy breathing, the cramps in your calves.

Few things are better than seeing yourself and your team improve in what they can do with a ball.

I may never be the best at any sport, but playing with a ball is still

So. Worth it.
