My oldest daughter did competitive horseback riding for a couple of years when she was younger. We live in the Bible belt so of course someone would say a prayer at the beginning of each competition, like with any sports event. But, one time the announcer said something that stuck with me. “Lord, help us to have fun and remember that the judgements passed today are just this one man’s opinion this one time.”

I thought it was a good perspective. People who suck the fun out of kids sports just… Suck.
