Today Goalieboy is playing one of the last games of the season. It's the second of three games. If they win today they play in the championship game tomorrow for first place. If they lose they play tomorrow for third. In the end, it doesn't matter to me if he wins or loses it's how he plays the game.
Do I want him to win? Of course! But learning how to win or lose with dignity and grace is most important to me.
I want to install positive values. Always play your best. Never give up. Take pride in what you do. Be a good sport. Show good sportsmanship. You never know when you'll meet up with other players and coaches again. Your opponents now may be your teammates later. Leave a positive lasting impression.
Good luck Goalieboy. I'm proud of you no matter what. You're a leader and a positive role model for your team. Hold them up to standards.
Remember....it doesn't matter if you win ir lose, it's how you play the game.
