[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to break it to you, but wanting to win comes from within. I drove my dad bananas - he would fuss at me and tell me I was just partcipating and not competing. I sure was. I have never cared what other people are doing, and Sports was no exception. That isn't something you can teach, sorry.[/quote] +1. I played on a varsity sport in high school and never really cared if we won. I loved practicing and the activity. I'm not a competitive adult. My son sounds like your daughter. I think it's great that he's tried a bunch of things. DH is super annoyed that he doesn't put forth 100% effort on the fields like he does when he's running with friends for fun. It's really about he doesn't care about the competition and winning. This has actually caused arguments between us about the line between encouraging and pushing too hard. [/quote]
