No one likes to lose, but the nature of a team sport is that one team always loses. And they lost to a team that just happened to play better that day. There is always next time, and the important thing is to learn from the defeats. One of life s most interesting truisms is that we learn more in failure than in success. Its okay to analyze why your team lost, and how they can do better next time.
Different coaches have different philosophies.
Some believe in having players play all the positions. Some want players to become good at one. Don t argue in front of the kids and criticize in the background if you think your child is being treated unfairly. As parents, it is natural to be very protective, but most coaches aren t discriminating. As a coach don t get focused on winning as being the only way to have fun.
