My Coaching Philosophy

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's true :) if you give your best and have fun, its as good as winning. As Mahatma Gandhi says, full effort is full victory.
