Is WINNING everything?

Champions always play to win, but understand that both winning and losing are important parts of the game they love.

Parental Tips:

• Always support your children, whether they win or lose;

• Emphasize good play over winning; and

• Focus on athlete performance, rather than game outcome.


SUGGESTION:As parents, remind your athlete (and yourself) that every sporting event has a victor. Some of the time your children will be on the winning side, many times, they will not. It is important to accept both sides of the spectrum with grace. Help your children realize the process of the game – how the game was played – is more important in the overall scheme of their whole sport career than simply the final score.
