The Sports Gene and Gifts...


Kids inherit all sorts from us: genetic gear and gifts; values, attitudes and beliefs

Ensure that those genes aren’t spoilt by…

DNA ≠ DNA (Do Not Aspire, or Do No Activity)
DNA ≠ DNB (Do Not Battle)
DNA ≠ DNC (Do Not Create, or Do Nothing Challenging)
DNA ≠ DND (Do Not Dream)
DNA ≠ DNE (Did Noble Excuses, or Did Not Encourage)

DNA ≠ DNF (Did Not Finish, or Did Nothing Fun)
DNA ≠ DNG (Did No Gymnastics)
DNA ≠ DNH (Did Not Handshake)
DNA ≠ DNI (Do Nothing Interesting)
DNA ≠ DNJ (Did Nameless Junk)

DNA ≠ DNK (Do Not Know)
DNA ≠ DNL (Did Not Learn)
DNA ≠ DNM (Does Not Mess-up)
DNA ≠ DNN (Do Nothing New)
DNA ≠ DNO (Disown Noble Ownership)

DNA ≠ DNP (Did Not PLAY)
DNA ≠ DNQ (Do Nothing Quick, or Quirky)
DNA ≠ DNR (Did No Running)
DNA ≠ DNS (Do No Skill-training)
DNA ≠ DNT (Did No Team-things)

DNA ≠ DNU (Did Nothing Uncertain)
DNA ≠ DNV (Did Nothing Venturous, or Virtuous)
DNA ≠ DNW (Do Nothing Wholeheartedly)
DNA ≠ DNX (Do Nightly X-box)
DNA ≠ DNY (Do Not Yearn)
DNA ≠ DNZ (Did Nothing Zany)


Let's ensure they can play, experiment, battle, dream, aspire, try and fail, fall and recover, yearn and learn, and work and create. They're not little adult athletes, they are the future. So, as our gift...let’s guide them to it with confidence and competence to approach and shape it…
