  Virtual Fitness Training - Summer Sessions June 9-June 26th
  

  Well, this is the end of the second week of training. I've had the following attendees more or less regularly:
  
  Mo Mo   -  17 year old female
  
  Lil Miss -    15 year old female
  
  Mr. Gamer - 14 yr old male
  
  JD - 8 yr old male
  
  Kman - 10 year old male
  
  The goal of this pilot program is to train 7-17 year-olds how to be Virtual Fitness FABB Facilitators.  At the end of the three-week program each participant will demonstrate the ability to facilitate a successful initial encounter with: Wii  Sports,  Wii  Fit,  and Dance, Dance Revolution  Hottest  Party  with someone who has never been exposed to  the  Wii console. 
  
  I've informed them all that it is Independent Study and  they are following my prescribed curriculum and reach daily goals.
  
  Yesterday, as usual, Mr. Gamer was 10 minutes early. (The camp runs from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. out of my apartment. Mr. Gamer lives on property which makes it easy for him to get to where he needs to be independent of some adult.) We chatted about many interesting things and I learned so much.
  
  I made Mr. Gamer to manager of the training sessions when I'm not around. Hey, these young people do not need me as I see more and more every day. My job as I now see it is to feed everybody, make sure everybody is playing something, and to raise the $$$ to fund everything. At least I know my place and I'm having the time of my life. I feel humbled by the kids and if I could just shut up and let them be I'd be able to truly witness the creativity and joy of children playing, just for fun and fitness.
