Carlo The Basketball Player
Posted by admin on June 6th, 2008 filed in DevelopmentsI received a call from Mom last week and she informed us about Carlo’s latest developments. She gladly informed me that Carlo is now loosing weight the natural way.
I remember when Carlo was still here, I had several attempts of teaching him the proper way to exercise. He would imitate me in the first part, then he’ll just laugh or simply just stop.
He also loves playing with any kind of ball – Jackstone Balls, Pingpong Balls and yes, Basketball.
I wanted to teach him how, but I am not a good basketball player myself. We would end up just playing “pass the ball”. I once taught him how to dribble, but he ended up laughing and grabbing the ball from me. He ends up just making the ball jump, not really dribble the Micheal Jordan way.
According to Carlo’s teacher, he plays basketball with his other classmates. He now knows how to dribble the proper way (thanks to the PE teacher for patiently teaching him) and he can even shoot the ball in the basket!
I myself admit that Sports is not really my thing. I am happy that Carlo is now interested in developing his skills in this field. Through this activity, he will learn more techniques, appreciate sports and yes, he will lose some weight! hurray!

Nakakatuwa namang malaman ang development na ito. Malay mo may untapped skills pala si Carlo sa basketball. Dapat matuto rin siya ng iba pang sports like soccer, badminton and volleyball (o kaya bilyar, hehe joke). Consistent exercise lang, for sure magiging mas healthy siya.

@dimaks – i love that idea
actually, he used to ride in a scooter and plays the skateboard a lot when he was still here
@technofied – pansin ko magaling motor skills niya. nung naglaro kami minsan ng badminton tinamad kaagad. nung soccer naman tinatawanan lang ako haha wag na bilyar kasi masakit yun lol
i hope ma-involve talaga siya sa sports
