Below is the reason why I would never coach anything other than Pre-K sports:
A post-game conversation with Coach Brooke and the Pineapples:
Pineapple 1: "Did we win?"
Me: "Did you have fun?"
Pineapple 1: "Yes"
Me: "Then you won!"
Pineapple 1 (looking to the other players): "If we had fun, we won!"
Pineapples: YAY!!!!

I JUST watched the episode of How I Met Your Mother where Lily tries to explain to Marshall that having fun is the point of playing a game. He emphasizes the importance of winning, but once they lose, Lily gives him a participation trophy and he realizes how nice it is to be rewarded for your efforts. You probably didn't need that whole description. I'm sure you know the episode.
that. is. adorable.
that's true :) if you give your best and have fun, its as good as winning. As Mahatma Gandhi says, full effort is full victory.
