Athletics runs in the family in this household!
As most of you know, sports are a huge part of my life. I love watching them, I love playing them, and I enjoy talking about them with patients and friends. For me, my favorite sport to watch would still be football. I played in high school and college and I still have a lot of knowledge of the sport which makes it fun to watch. It is a gladiator sport and to play, you have to be tough. Obviously I grew up playing sports, but now I get to watch my children grow up and mature as athletes too, which is so fun to see. My oldest son, Ty, plays baseball, basketball, and football. Adley keeps us busy with swimming, dance, soccer, softball, and basketball. I know that sounds like a crazy schedule, but it is a lot of fun for us as a family. I think it teaches the kids a lot too. I know they will learn about being a good teammate. They will learn respect, for not only their coach, but their teammates and the opposing team as well. They will learn to build confidence through success, but also learn to handle the disappointment of a loss. I think those are all extremely important lessons to learn in life. Having my kids in sports is also great for keeping the kids off the couch and staying active. There isn’t enough of that anymore. My favorite moments watching Adley are when she swims. She has grown so much already and is starting to excel as a swimmer. She will be on swim team soon in Blair at age 5. For Ty, I love seeing him hit the baseball. It is not an easy thing to do at a
young age and he has matured and grown in that area so much and hits the ball well. As much as I miss playing sports, I love getting the opportunity to switch roles and be a coach for their teams or cheer them on from the sidelines. I feel fortunate to get to play such a meaningful role in their lives. - Ross M. Tessendorf Owner, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS
