I'm still not sure that every kid on every team should get a medal just for playing a sport so that their self-esteem isn't ruined. I played on the losing-est softball team in the history of Macon - seriously, we had to stop playing games on many occasions b/c the other team was beating us so badly. We didn't need a medal or trophy to make us feel better - we were just glad to be able to play and always, always had fun. However, I am justifying McIver's medal since he wasn't really on a team, and didn't really compete against anyone, and b/c he hasn't taken the medal off for the last 24 hours!
Here's McIver on the podium waiting for the gold medal.
Here he is with Coach Steve and Coach Rachel (she's also a cheerleader for the Texans -
see how McIver is leaning in to her and grinning from ear to ear!?)
