basketball jones...A hilarious girl...

For those of you who do not know, I am coaching a youth girls basketball team...I'm sure it will be the source of many future blogs. We had practice last night, and I have a hilarious quote from it. We were working on shooting form...mind you they are only 8 & 9 year-olds...so they are all over the place...they love to try hard though. I had two of them in front of me at one basket and one of them was really struggling with her shot. So I completely lined her up, form, stance...all..then had her shoot. She made it in...hooray!! So I said "great job, perfect form!"...she grabbed her ball, came over to me, tapped me on the back and said "please don't say I'm perfect, I don't like that, I'm a bad shooter, so I know I can't be perfect"...I about fell to the ground, it was so cute and sincere, so matter of fact....hahah what do I say to that?
