I bought a Wilson football (US) last night, and just for shnitzengiggles I brought it to school today. Between periods I was out in the exercise yard/assembly area/parking lot (big patch of dirt outside) throwing back and forth with my students.
After a few minutes of watching them wounded-duck the pigskin back and forth, they called one of the grade 3 boys (around 15 Korean age) over to play. He picked up the ball, did a three step drop and with near perfect form hit me between the numbers from 20 yards out with a tightly spiraled missle.

Nope. He was pretty consistent, with a few wobblers here and there, but he definitely knew what he was doing.
I asked him where he learned how to throw, and he said, "Camp." Apparently the church he goes to has a foreign minister and during one of their summer camps he taught the kid how to throw and he just took to it.
I don't know many middle school kids in the States that can throw that well. |

| You should nurture that kind of talent. Keep tossing him the pigskin! |

Does he have big hands? Doesn't take that long to learn, but I don't alwasy throw a perfect spiral. Anyway, I was outside linebacker during my 2 brief football stints. |
