Kids at sports press conferences? A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!! However, people have their opinions about whether it should be repeated or not. What do you think? Here is what Sam Amick, USA Today Sports, thinks.
The last Thursday in April is Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. I’m for taking children to any work environment so they can be connected to their parents’ lives and they can begin to connect what they learn at school to everyday life. Plus, lightening up otherwise serious environments can leave an extra smile or two. You may feel differently. I remember when I taught 5th grade, my co-teacher’s teenager was thinking about becoming a lawyer. I volunteered to take the teen to court one day and sit with her so she could observe court in progress. When a man charged of setting his girlfriend on fire winked at the teen, she practically ran from the courthouse. She later decided court wasn’t for her.
Good or bad? Right or wrong? The opinion is from the perspective of who’s telling it. You get to say. The media is listening so they can quote you.

You learned to use your words when you were as young as Steph Curry’s 2 year old daughter. Now, how are you going to use them today. Most media loathe press conferences, anyway, because they all get the scoop together. I recommend treating them special, giving them exclusive stories no one else will have. Make sure the media hears you. Use humor. Or, give them insights, stats, statistics and stories.
