Nothing in life, including football, is worthwhile unless you enjoy it and gain something from the experience. Sure, we're trying to win football games and we are going to set our goals high, but I don't want it to ruin our lives if we lose. I don't want our football team to believe that a football loss is a tragedy because it's not. All you can ask of our kids is to do their best. If we win, Great! If we lose, it's not the end of the world. There is another game next Saturday. I don't what my players crying. I want them to feel bad, but not ashamed. Coaches that think only of winning, don't belong in football. Try this: Ask your child if he had a good time instead of whether he won or lost.
