Ep 994. Teamwork Triumph: a meditation and soothing child’s tale

Brian and his friends practice teamwork when they do a basketball-themed relay race. Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:15 Teamwork Triumph Excerpt: On the whole, Brian liked gym class. It was a chance to go outside and let off steam and be with friends. Brian participated seated in Winfield; they were a team. Basketball was one of his favorite activities; he’d become really good at dribbling while maneuvering Winfield at the same time. Like many skills, Brian had practiced a lot to improve his abilities. Passing the ball and dribbling now felt almost like second nature. But most of all, Brian loved shooting baskets. This he had practiced for countless hours, from different distances and different angles. Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine you are a baby penguin snuggled close to its papa.
