Set a Goal & Score

I read a story about someone missing a meeting with the President at the White House to watch his son's final basketball game.

It so happened that his son scored the last two point shot when their team was one point down to win the final. He later said that experience was worth far more than meeting the President at the White House.

After reading this story I went to watch my son's game but I could only watch for the first five minutes as I had to pick up my wife Farzana; so I told my son before the game that I could only watch for five minutes, and he gave me the thumbs up. Then I said to him if he is planning to score, he better do so in the first five minutes. He gave me another thumbs up. Lo and behold he scored in the first five minutes. It was a screamer - he found the net from about 25 yards slipping the ball between two players and the bottom right corner. Wow!

How did that happen? Set a goal and score a goal!
