Sorry Jane, but I think you might be showing your colours again. Is that would Daddy always did for you, so he wouldn't have to watch you pitch a fit and cry when you lost....(so how much did he pay the other kids to let you win?)
OK, having said that, I will have to agree with you on one thing, you do have to have the will to win.... but I think my agreeing stops there. If you can't win fair, you're scum....period...the end. There have been times that I was playing basketball with my son and won and after I scored the winning basket, he slugged me.... Trust me, winning matters to him, has since I can remember, but there is a wrong way to lose and a right way....and if you give it your best...winning isn't all that is important. I go out and play softball about seven months out of the year...I'm in league one, the top league, in both womens and co-ed, we do more winning than losing in both leagues and have a nice habit of winning our leagues. The same group of people have played together for anywhere from 8-20 years....and we all take it serious....but, win or lose, no one cries, no one slugs the others, and there is a lot of respect among players.... and the number one rule we have is... we all have fun.... (of course, when you are sponsored by the Palace Saloon, that makes it easy.)
I'm rambling again....Gotta' get back to work.....]
Bottom Line, Jane, don't you worry about my Son, he'll do just Fine...not necessarily as a Football player...but as a person, and in Life....You should spend a lot more time worrying about yourself...
