If you want
your child to be babied, comforted, pumped up falsely to believe he/she
did a great job when they didn't then you don’t need a coach.. you
need a nanny. Your child doesn't need to be on a team sport.
BUT if you
want your child to learn how to work with others…
If you want
that child to know that life brings defeat as well as winning..
That hard
work brings results. And sometimes when it doesn't you get out there and
try again.. but harder… then you want your child in team sports and
you want a good coach.
Why parents
don’t want their children to learn there is defeat, is beyond me. Defeat is good, because you also learn, if
you are lucky.. there
is another day.. there is another game.. and while winning is
nice.. you learn more by the mistakes you make.
And you did
notice I said a “good coach”. One who will yell, get back on the horse,
get back in the game, get out there and try harder… but also tells
them, what a great effort they did while trying.. even if the results didn't come
this time around..
