My little football player

Ben started going to a football clinic yesterday. It's a 6-week/12-session module that is supposedly designed to teach them the basics of football. I asked him a couple of weeks ago if he wanted to join and he said yes, so now he's registered to go for the first module. Yesterday, he was ready to give up after running around for some time, saying he was tired, but he made it to about an hour and half, and this morning another two hours. The sessions run every Saturday and Sunday for the next six weeks, well, five now. Today, he wasn't very happy after the end of the session because he felt that his fellow students were upset with him. He said he wanted to quit. I told him that things will get better and that it's just that some of the other students didn't like the fact that he kept goofing off, which he did. Hopefully, the next few weekends will teach him how to get along and make new friends with the other students (most are prep students at Ateneo as well), and allow him to develop his endurance. I have to give him a couple of puffs from his inhaler before each session starts, so as to avoid the possibility of having an asthma attack. He said he felt good today. Well, he's still got a long way to go, but I'm hoping this first shot at learning a sport will start him on his way to developing a good self-esteem and team spirit. Here's a few shots of him wearing his uniform and on the field...
