The best lesson that one gets from sports
So if you followed my previous posts, then you might have observed him missing, the reason being, he was going to participate in the State Inter-School & Y.G.T.A. State Ranking Table Tennis Championship and he went there for five continuous days to participate in various categories. He did win few rounds and then lost in later rounds, but I could see some nice improvement in him.
I accompanied him only on the third day and the other days, he went by the school bus. When I asked him, if it was comfortable, he was not unhappy, saying, its ok. Does it have AC ? No, but now a days I don't feel it's a must to have. That was impressive - a boy going through all the hardship, sitting the entire day out there in the stadium is not complaining. The Indoor Stadium does have provisions for AC, but then its quite expensive for the participating organization to bear the cost (5000/ per hour), so they do not operate it at all. The day I went there, I felt, it was very hot and kind of suffocating with so many people inside. Only after a nice rain, I could feel better. But the boy was not complaining, and was telling me, I have to adjust. Boy, your endurance level is certainly getting better.
Standing in the queue , waiting for the food while very hungry, and then taking care of all the discipline to match the schedules on his own - you certainly can't teach all these at home. You simply cannot create this kinda situation where they learn to behave responsibly, be patient. He was telling, one day , he felt very tired and slept on the floor without anything - one of the first in his life. But then that his when one learns the importance of essentials, and sports is the best thing that can teach anyone all these qualities. Being a sportsman, I know what it feels - adjusting to every situation and be focused on your goal.
On day one, I got some whatsapp messages from him and it was a list of things to remember for the next day. He sent me them so that he does not forget as he is going alone and Papa is not there to arrange. And most importantly he was not upset from his looses rather motivated to do it better next time. This was the first time he participated in school level events and there is one more coming up this week, about which he is optimistic. But I am really happy to see the change in his endurance level, be it whatever happens. This is the best thing that will always influence in life.
I enjoyed the movie Heart of Stone on Netflix, seeing him taking care of himself. The food was good, but the inside of the stadium was not very comfortable, so the movie kept me engaged. There is no good eating place nearby, so I bought a coupon paying 200/-. His school teacher was asking me to bear the coupon, but I felt doing my part as well, considering it, kind of a charitable donation for all the work the association people doing, sacrificing their own work. And the new Sony WH-CH720N headphone with noise canceling / ambient sound mode helped me pass the time. A review on WH-CH720N coming soon....

You must have really enjoyed your day throughout
Getting some old feelings back, I did enjoy.
It was very amazing that he is going to adjust in every situation without AC especially.
In this hot weather, adjustment without AC is a difficult task and these discipline can only learn in school not at home.
That's the tough one, but once done, is a good milestone.
Hi friend, I'm so glad to hear that your son had a great experience participating in the State Inter-School & Y.G.T.A. State Ranking Table Tennis Championship. It sounds like he learned a lot and grew a lot as a person. It sounds like you had a nice day overall. I wish him all the best. 😊
The food looks really appetizing. Its a good thing that he is learning patience on his sportsmanship journey. I hope he keeps forging ahead.
Yes, this journey should improve and I hope he will scale well.
It's good to know that your son, dear friend @sanjeevm, is adapting very well and has increased his level of resistance, the things that one lives in relation to sport is a great lesson, and defeats are part of the game and it is essential to temper the character. my congratulations dear friend
I appreciate that you have shared this experience that your son is living. I take this opportunity to wish you a happy start to the week
Thank you a lot.
that is the key word in all that DISCIPLINE it will take us very far. You will continue to grow a lot on a personal level if you continue to practice sports
Isn't it hot because the indoor stadium doesn't have AC? I'm glad he's fine with it though.
It does have AC, but the charge (5K per hour) is way beyond capacity, especially for a community event like this. Had it been a commercial event, where more money would be earned, they would pay to put the AC.
In today time the AC become the necessity but it's good to know that your son has adopted to the environment he is playing.

When children start adjusting, the level of tolerance definitely increases, which proves to be effective in facing every problem they face.
ya, and that is how they become mature and responsible.
Right,
kabhi hamari post bhi dekh liya karo @sanjeevm bhai.
Endurance is indeed needed in life at many levels including physical and mental
Good to see you and your son.
Exactly, only going through tough situations would help them learn.
Here in the Philippines, it's so hot. A venue without the AC on won't be easy stay at.
It was definitely not easy, but seems they were focused on the game and that helps them to endure.
Adjustment is the best part of life.
From all you've written here it shows you really raised a good son!
Good job!!
It's a long story, wish your son a good future
A good day to see your son play.
that gives us sports and teaches us what is there one day after another besides a new opportunity every day we have the opportunity to improve
