To Be A Winner is to ACT LIKE ONE

Should sports be ALL about the winning? Or games? Or anything for that matter?

I love to be on a winning team don't get me wrong, but I also think it is okay to lose. Even the best of the best lose SOMETIMES!!

Lately, certain kids brag about how their teams slaughter the other ones and how they have NEVER lost a game since they started playing sports. Or telling everyone that they win in EVERYTHING they do.

What are parents teaching their children? Shouldn't parents show or explain to their children that it is okay to lose. I think you can improve and try harder the next time.

Or sometimes kids say it was the referee's fault they lost. What do you all think? Am I wrong? Is it okay for teams to win by 40 runs? If I were the coach and my team was beating the other team by that many runs or points, I would back off and not rub it in. Has anyone ever heard of sportsmanship???

Soccer is for the Birds?

This is Alyssa's game. She scored 2 goals today and her team
won 11-0 today and 5 to 3 yesterday. She is the blue team, she is on right. It must be the coach. He is way Hot! ( it's my hubbie) Way to go Panthers!

This is Brandon's team. (They could go deer hunting with those

colors). His team won yesterday and today. No goals for Brandon,

however, a lot of assists and a couple almost type deals. He is coming off the field at this point. Go Barons!

This is what I had to deal with today. I felt like I was going to get pecked or pooped on. Or what was that movie about the birds? I was freaked out and the kids were ducking their heads at some point because they thought they were going to get dived upon. There were hundreds of these things flying around. Not only the seagulls eating everyone's crumbs, but goose poop everywhere. (a pond right next to the soccer complex) Thank goodness this was the only double header weekend. The only reason I spent 6 hours at the field this weekend was it was rained out last weekend.
