Thank you for coming to my son’s game, and for capturing the essence so beautifully.

The team’s intensity and performance, and even their joy reflects the investment of time and effort by their coaches. I am especially impressed with how well they facilitated the integration of new players this year. It took some time to make adjustments, but the team welcomed the new members enthusiastically.

A remarkable aspect of Special Olympics events is the spirit in which the games are played . Officials do a tremendous and someitimes challenging job respecting individual players’ disabilities. Corporate and private donations pay for uniforms and equipment. Volunteers – many with no personal connection to the Special Olympics – provide essential services. Fans cheer for both teams. Frankly, I think Special Olympics games are as pure as basketball gets.

Thanks again for coming Tim, and for your post.
