I’ve learned a lot since I started coaching baseball this summer. For instances, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose, but it does matter how you win or lose. I’ve learned that it’s also not about winning and losing, it’s about how much fun you had. Lastly, I learned that winning is more fun. There is a post in progress about it, actually. Tonight, however, our ball team won. There were good plays made in the field. There were good hits made at the plate. There was even a homerun. We allowed just 1 run in the first inning and 2 runs in the last 3 innings. We won 17-11.
Now here are some winning posts…

Thanks so much for the shout out and I agree with you re the it doesn’t matter if you win but how you win. We just had an awful lesson in this regard last Sunday. Our girls won and did it in a fair and amazing way but unfortunately the other team tried to turn the game around by playing nasty and harsh, encouraged by that one parent… shame really…

It’s hard when one team is playing fairly and the other is trying to bring them down. Your girls were all the better for stooping so low. Kudos to them! Even sadder when it’s a parent bringing them down.

I am totally quoting you now and forever more: “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it matters how you win or lose”. Wonderful. And deep (!)

I’m totally quoting me, too. It’s all about the “how”.
