Daughter made the soccer team and I cried in the car

She's been working so hard since tryouts. Kept telling herself she wasn't good enough even though I kept telling her to believe in herself. Got the email from the coach today and she made it. She called me at work screaming. Drove to pick her up and just sat in the parking lot feeling like the proudest guy alive. She's 10 and officially thinks I'm cool for making a big deal about it. This won't last long so I'm soaking it in.

The moment they stop doubting themselves and realize they're capable is everything. You clearly raised a tough kid. That's worth the car tears for sure.

Crying in the car is totally valid. Watching our kids push through the self doubt and come out the other side is one of the best parts of this job. Congrats to your daughter!

That's awesome! She earned that through hard work and you being there supporting her matters way more than you know. Those moments when they finally believe in themselves... man, that's what it's all about.
