Most of these kids just want to have fun. Yes, they do want to win, but 10 minutes after the match they are off playing with their buddies - who might have just beat them or vice versa. My boy lost to Boo at state last year in the second round, but he will try to watch every one of Boo's matches just to see how he does, and to see how he does it. 5 minutes after his district finals match with Kaj Perez he was holding a spot in the t-shirt line for Kaj, while Kaj went and got something to drink. When he got back in line I would have paid a lot of money to find out what they were laughing and giggling about. He told me it was a secret and would not give in. We all need to remember - KIDS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN!!!!!
