re: Private sports lessons for your child...video it?

When I was a kid.. into my early teenage years, I lived next to this kid who was a fricking idiot.

For years he thought he was going to one day be a punter for the Saints and for years, he would get in the road, put the ball, go get it, punt it again and so on.

I don't think I ever saw him punt it straight. He would always move his leg to the right and kick the side of the ball and it would go off in people's front yard. He did get to the point where he could consistently punt it far, but I think he just got a little stronger as he got older.

His older brother use to yell at him that he sucked and he looked like an idiot just punting the ball by himself and he would say "when I am playing for the saints I want you to come to my games and say that"

He is now a legitimate meth head with black teeth and lives off of his baby momma.

If he would have had lessons, things might have turned out different for him.

And this is an absolute true story.
