True Inspiration – Connor and Cayden Long, 2012 Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids of the Year

Inspirational Sports Stories - Connor and Cayden LongIn January, I published a post on How to Help Each of Your Children Feel Special. One of my suggestions was to  try to support each child’s extracurricular activities as a family.

The story of Connor and Cayden Long, 2012 Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids of the Year, is a truly moving story of a brother’s love and encouragement of his brother through triathlons.

I love the way the Longs show the best of sports and family support.

    I was like the bball player who spoke afterwards, on the verge of tears. What a beautiful story! I used to work with adults with MR/DD and I enjoyed taking my residents off the facility to eat or shop or to Christmas parties in the community. I miss them a lot.

    Thanks Deb, for some encouraging video recommendation. To fulfill our kids extra talent such video is pointing correct ways. I’ve a kid and he from the of 6 showed great attention in basketball and since than I’ve made my mind to let him be a basketball player. I’m planning to admit my kid into Mini Basketball England next year to help him to live his sports dream nicely. :)
