Well, I taught for 31.5 years and coached ball and hockey for 20 or so years. Even my grandkids today,will be disappointed to lose a hockey game and I have always told them "You will never appreciate what it is to win if you never know what it is to lose." Children need to understand the playing of the game is what is important, effort and the trying. Sometimes a competition is the greatest thing in the world,it teaches us what we must do to be better in the competion, it teaches what the opposition have done , it teaches us about ourselves. Children need to learn the game, the point about hitting into a triple play is simply part of what can happen in baseball once the batter has put the ball in play. Another factor that has not been mentioned here is the difference in growth spurts for children especially 10 to 14.By that age some children have reached an adult status being almost 6' tall while other kids in that age group may still be under 5'. We see this in minor hockey and this is one of the reasons body checking was taken out of peewee hockey..too great a differential in size, we can't have adult sized players hitting child sized players. Children need to be taught and coached before a competion so their skill levels are comparable. I think all of the examples given show unpreparedness, size and age differentials and lack of understanding the competition.We also have harboured the idea that everyone should get a trophy for participation. I don't agree with that, it rewards losing, losing is OK. Nope, go out and practice some more watch successful teams of athletes and hone your skills..just my humble opinion!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
