I was allowed to become as good as I wanted to be, and if that meant studying with older kids, then so be it. In college football, a team almost always has to beat the weaker teams into the mud and stomp on them to keep a high national ranking. At some point, I assume that we are old enough to realize that we can get humiliated by another team or person, and it doesn t mean that we are a pack of losers. But young kids cannot understand this, I guess. Everyone gets a trophy now.
Some leagues don t even keep score lest it lead to a traumatized kid.
Apparently some kids will not realize that sooner or later, we all have to lose at something. This coach lost. He lost because he was trying to be a winner.
