Kayson and the Power of Team Strong Kayson loved to race the wind. Every day after school, he’d run to the park where his friends Julian, Noel, and Darrin were already waiting by the big oak tree. But today was different. A bright orange sign was posted near the playground: TEAM STRONG CHALLENGE Four stations. One team. No quitting. Kayson grinned. “We got this.” Julian crossed his arms. “What if it’s hard?” Noel shrugged. “Then we get stronger.” Darrin bounced on his toes. “Let’s go!” ⸻ Station One: The Tire Flip The tire was huge. Kayson tried first. He pushed. It didn’t move. Julian tried. Nothing. They all looked at each other. “Together,” Noel said. All four crouched down. “On three!” Darrin shouted. “One… two… THREE!” They pushed at the same time. The tire flipped. BOOM. They cheered so loud even the birds flew up. ⸻ Station Two: Bear Crawl Relay They had to crawl like bears to the fence and back. Halfway through, Kayson’s arms started shaking. “I’m tired,” he said. Julian crawled beside him. “Don’t stop. I’m right here.” Noel and Darrin started chanting, “Team Strong! Team Strong!” Kayson smiled and kept moving. When they finished, they were breathing hard—but nobody quit. ⸻ Station Three: Wall Sit Backs against the wall. Legs at 90 degrees. Thirty seconds felt like forever. Darrin started laughing. “My legs are noodles!” “Don’t laugh,” Noel said, trying not to laugh too. Kayson looked at his friends. They were all shaking. But they were all still there. “Hold it,” Kayson said. “We finish together.” And they did. ⸻ Final Station: The Hill Sprint One last challenge. Run up the hill. Together. Not first. Not fastest. Together. They held hands for the first few steps, then sprinted side by side. Halfway up, Julian slowed down. Kayson grabbed his shirt. “We don’t leave teammates.” They all slowed. They ran the rest of the hill shoulder to shoulder. When they reached the top, they didn’t just feel strong. They felt unstoppable.
