Was it a bribe or motivation?
My daughter had her final track meet of the season on Saturday.
She packed her bags and headed off for a day in the sun. I was speaking with her casually on the phone and mentioned that if she threw over 19 feet I would give her $20.00. All season she has been hovering around 17 feet. She is a freshman and that is great. She has been dedicated to practices and weight lifting. I thought, ok I will dangle the carrot.
She calls me back a few hours later, Mom and I threw 20 ft 3 inches. So, she now has a new personal record.
OK – has she been holding back or just purely motivated by the crisp Andrew Jackson.
