In January, I published a post on How to Help Each of Your Children Feel Special. One of my suggestions was to try to support each child’s extracurricular activities as a family.
The story of Connor and Cayden Long, 2012 Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids of the Year, is a truly moving story of a brother’s love and encouragement of his brother through triathlons.
I love the way the Longs show the best of sports and family support.
For a moving sports story about a father’s love for his son, see Dick and Rick Hoyt – Father and Son Inspiration. You’ll find another moving video about brotherly love and encouragement embedded in How to Help Each of Your Children Feel Special.

I was like the bball player who spoke afterwards, on the verge of tears. What a beautiful story! I used to work with adults with MR/DD and I enjoyed taking my residents off the facility to eat or shop or to Christmas parties in the community. I miss them a lot.
Thanks so much for your comment, LuAnn! I can see why you’d miss the adults you worked with … such meaningful work. 🙂
Thanks Deb, for some encouraging video recommendation. To fulfill our kids extra talent such video is pointing correct ways. I’ve a kid and he from the of 6 showed great attention in basketball and since than I’ve made my mind to let him be a basketball player. I’m planning to admit my kid into Mini Basketball England next year to help him to live his sports dream nicely. 🙂
Thanks, Peter! It’s awesome that you’re following your son’s interest! 🙂

This made me cry. It was so moving 🙂 Such maturity at the age of just 9, that’s amazing 🙂 Thank you so much for posting this story 🙂
It’s Really Amazing it’s real hero thanks author for such sharing fabulous story
It is really amazing how your small act of support, may it be on your kids sports, arts or academic activities, could go a long way. As a kid growing up having that support to follow my dreams made it much easier to pursue. With your family at your back their is nothing (children or adults) that they can do.
