How to Lose

Sports are great for kids, when handled properly.

Kids can, and do, learn many things out on the court or field.

What they learn depends on what we teach them.

When we put winning first, we teach them to abandon ethics.

When our most important message is "win at any cost," we miss our opportunity to teach two of the greatest lessons that kids can learn from sports;

how to be a gracious winner,

and how to lose without feeling defeated.
