[quote=Anonymous]I can't keep quiet, but I am the soother and supporter.

Own goal and player hanging their head almost crying--"don't worry Mikey! It's ok".

Team obviously dejected after being scored on and dragging back to center line: "it's okay, guys! We can get it back".

"Nice idea, Mark!" When a kid is going for a nice pass but it doesn't have the "enough oomph"" or intercepted.

I praise the assist before the goal and will give a shout out to both.

I try to find something good to say about everyone--even when it's a bad day.

I will compliment other team on a nice save by the goalie, etc.

I try not to cheer when the score gets ridiculous "it's a tiny golf clap when it's starting to get up there and nothing when it's a really large margin.

I never shout or give direction/coaching. EVER.  I never comment on refs calls.

It's just too odd for me when you can hear a pin drop on the sideline.  Younger kids also really do respond to positivity and helps them gather their emotions.

I wish I could not say a word, but I'm part Italian--not going to happen--so at least it will all be positive and supportive.

After the game, if I see kids from our team or opponents on way to car--I say "nice game".  If an opponent was spectacular --I let them know.

My kids have had parents (and even players) from opposing teams come over to tell them they really played great and we absolutely do the same.  It's just a game and when it's over--even your toughest rivals--you leave it on the field and show good sportsmanship.[/quote]
