The football field somehow becomes a magnifying glass for these little personalities. Often, the personality shines through so fiercely, you can literally pick out their parents from the sideline to match them.
Lil' Monster's personality reveals who his Mom is:
He is tough. Despite numerous tackles he falls victim to, he is quick to jump back up & endure to the end. During repetitive, exhausting drills of this, he still runs back to the starting line just as ready as the first time.
Despite his tough exterior, he is the most sensitive kid on the team. The other boys tackle and walk away after a play. Lil' Monster tackles, then runs over to the boys still on the ground after each play is over, and helps them back up to their feet. He does this every time, without coaching from anyone to do so. It is his little heart's desire to help others.
His Mom is a Nurse...

She's the one on the sidelines with tears of pride in her eyes.
