I didn’t think he could dive…

Who knew?

Not me.

So, when he came home a few weeks ago and told me that he was going to dive this year.

I honestly didn’t think too much about it.

He’s never dove before.

Figured he wouldn’t do to well.

Yet another lesson learned from my children.

You never know how good you will be at something if you never try.

You could go in to your first diving meet of the year and win first place.

But did he know he could dive? haha

How awesome. You are right we don't know what we can do until we do it.

Tell me...what is he doing in the shot where he is holding his head??? Is that a pose or is he protecting his head from the water impact??

James is one amazing kid....very talented in many areas coupled with being a good person. Doesn't get any better than that. You must glow with pride for that young man! :)

There was a kid last week that had a perfect dive and smacked the bottom of the pool. I guess it left a "square" on his forehead.
Glad James likes it. Matt did too until he had one too many concussions from it. Good luck James!
