I really debated wheather or not to post this video.  I think a lot of people do not place enough emphasis on winning or losing.  I think we are doing our kids a huge disservice by not letting them play to win or even lose. We think it is damaging to their self-esteem if we let them lose.  I think it is more damaging to let them play and then no one wins.

Here little Johnny go out and bust your little ass kicking the soccer ball, tossing up 3′s, but at the end of the game no one wins or loses.  I’d be like screw this.  Oh, just cause I am sure you want to know.  I am a sore loser.    I am sure you are not surprised.

I think we have lost site of being a kid.  We have let these moms and dads who do not know how to be a mom and a dad tell us that it is not good for a kid to lose.  And, now we are telling them it is not OK to win or even play to win.  People are coming out of the wood work for this losing team to give them prizes and tickets to pro basketball games.   Well, I attached a video.  Enjoy!
