[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1488051624191","data":"The problem with the question is, the first and second parts of it are in different time frames. <\/p>The 'keeping score' is more of the present part, the today and the 'winning isn't everything' is more of the future, the bigger picture.\n<\/p>There is no point to the today's game if there is no score and likewise there is no point to the life's game if you get bothered by one day's result.\n\n <\/p>At the end of the day, \nyou tell the winner, \"See you just won today, but it isn't everything, tomorrow you are starting afresh\"\n <\/p>you tell the looser, \"See you just lost today, but it isn't everything, tomorrow you are starting afresh\". <\/p>Let\u2019s face one simple fact: winning is the ultimate goal for dedicated athletes. And there\u2019s nothing wrong with wanting to win. There is nothing more exhilarating that winning a championship. Ask any athlete who has. When your kid wins, celebrate with them. That\u2019s a no brainier. <\/p>As you celebrate the win with your child, remember that you are also celebrating excellence. And excellence can be celebrated, even if your child doesn\u2019t win. Not every team can win a championship, but many teams can achieve excellence without winning championships. <\/p>Teach your child to strive for excellence, and when it results in a win, rejoice with them. When it doesn\u2019t result in a win, acknowledge their superior effort, even as you let them feel the pain of loss. <\/p>Sometimes\u2013as your child will learn\u2013giving an honest effort or having a personal-best performance can be just as or more meaningful than winning. In any race, only one person will win, but there are others who will perform at their personal highest. When your child does that, celebrate that with them as if it were a win. Because for them, it is a win. <\/p>When too much emphasis is placed on winning in youth sports, you may see some very tangible results: stacked teams, angry parents who don\u2019t like the way the coach plays players, small kids left on the bench for the whole game, kids getting angry when a teammate makes a mistake. It may even go so far as choosing a little league coach only because he has a winning record. <\/p>When winning is placed over excellence, character growth, and skill development in youth sports, it has become too important. <\/p>The question to ask yourself, as parents, then, is this: how much emphasis have we placed on winning in our house? How much pressure do our children feel to win? Do we praise their hard work, dedication, and personal achievement as much as we rejoice in their wins? <\/p>If you want to help your child have a healthy perspective of winning, it starts with you. <\/p>Children want to make their parents happy. If a parent over-emphasizes the result, so will the child. Don\u2019t say winning isn\u2019t important, just don\u2019t make it the most important thing.\n <\/p>When your son or daughter comes home from a game, what do you say? Is it, \u201cDid you win\u201d? If so, perhaps you can change that to, \u201cHow did it go?\u201d or \u201cHow did you play?\u201d <\/p>The game result will come out in their answer. <\/p>"}]
