Coached HS baseball for three seasons and will be getting back into it this summer.
The kids I coached wanted to win every time they took the field.
“The kids I coached wanted to win every time..”
I agree. I’ve been to all sorts of athletic competitions.. high school football, ES girls basketball and now gymnastics for the youngest. ALL the kids want to outshine the others. All of them bring their game faces. Oh.. and some of the events that don’t keep a score.. believe me, there are a lot of parents that know the score at the end of the game. You simply can’t take away the competitive spirit in people.. you can write an article stating it but it is there. IMHO.
