[quote=Anonymous]been involved in kiddie sports for 5 years now (DS#1 is 10) and a couple months back, for the first time, i heard 8-yo DS#2's coach talking about a game that "we didn't win," then last weekend after DS#1 soccer game he answered his brother's inquiry with "we didn't win." so, i'm wondering if this not unusual in these age groups for coaches/kids to not say they've lost a game. full disclosure - i'm not a competitive person and sucked big time in sports growing up, so i'm really not judging, but when i overheard DS#2's coach said that, i immediately thought well that's unfair to the other team to not acknowledge their victory, even among your own players. and then i heard DS#1 used the exact phrase. i don't know where this sits in the grand scheme of sportsmanship but felt compelled to ask the BTDT parents/coaches on here whether this warrants further discussion with my kids. by the way these are rec sports/teams so they're not serious competitors themselves.[/quote]
