When we do things for kids and do not allow them to fail, we are not letting them experience life as it is. Sport activities are for exercises but they must be fun and enjoyable. Let them enjoy it and do not make it a competition. It is amazing that kids can have fun without thinking of winning until a grown up kills the fun and talks about competition. thanks Ronit <a href="http://www.ronitbaras.com/" rel="nofollow">Family Matters </a> Anxiety symptoms,

Nice article. Yeah, You should leave kids to do what they actually want and enjoy.. if you force them you will fail in the end with it anyway. Nice article.

I do not want to be misunderstood, winning is definitely a good quality to have, going forward, against all odds and winning but it is only one aspect of it and some coaches, teachers or parents neglect the most important skills and traits and focus too much on the winning side. Gal was coaching a group of boys in basketball. the other coach who was in an upper level was so preoccupied with winning that some kids ( 10 years old) got a chance to play 2 minutes. Can you imagine parents come to see their kids, they bring them to trainings during the week and on weekends and their son plays 2 minutes? Gal was so focused on building character, team work, giving everyone a chance that most kids dropped down from the higher level to his team and some kids there who were so uncoordinated were stars after giving them a chance. I personal find the luck games not very appealing, they send the wrong message. thanks and Happy day Ronit <a href="http://www.ronitbaras.com/" rel="nofollow">Family Matters </a> Michael,

The most important one is that playing is more important than winning. Playing is always more important than winning. Many a time, luck decides who wins.
