In case you've been wondering how things are coming along with regard to David's football practices...
His hamstring injury kept him from practice on Saturday, and from the freshman scrimmage on Saturday night. He also wasn't able to practice on Monday, and on Tuesday he could engage in light drills, but no contact. Wednesday, he saw the trainer first thing in the morning, and was cleared to resume full participation--yay!
...and then Wednesday night, he announced he will, in fact, be accompanying Mary and Sarah to the beach trip to the Outer Banks with the Schiponos next week.
He remains one of ten (10!) wingbacks on the freshman team; he says he's enjoying it, but I don't see him being quite as fired up about it as he was when he played for SYC three years ago. I suspect the allure of a week away from having to be up at 6:00am, and being at the beach, is still stronger than the allure of improving, day by day, as a potential wingback for his team. Does that convey some deeper message about his commitment levels overall, or is he just a 14-year-old kid who sees a chance to sit on a beach for a week and isn't about to pass it up?
