Matt, this had me laughing out loud — and wincing at the same time. The “Saturday engagement” script is painfully accurate! You captured the absurdity of so many youth practices with such clarity and humor! i will use your script this upcoming Saturday when I teach some teenage assistants. They will laugh hard I'm sure. ;-)
I love how you turn frustration into invitation: less command, more curiosity; less control, more play. That spirit is contagious — thanks for writing this and reminding us what engagement really means. And thank you, Drew, for posting this :-)

Glad you enjoyed it. I need to write more. Seeing your posts have been inspiring and encouraging.
