[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 255113, member: 642"] Back in the day i have been on both sides of this issue. Got our butts kicked and also kicked others butts. You see this so often in professional football when they have a good lead and they take their foot of the gas and go into "prevent" defense. I always say all prevent defense does is prevent you from winning. Mike McCarthy was good for this and it just pissed me off to no end. I have always said "play to win don't play NOT to lose". There is a BIG difference. When you lose you should be learning many valuable lessons so you don't make the same mistakes again or you don't let the team that beat you run the same plays the next time you play them. Kids have to learn to lose and parents need to accept that so that when little Johnny doesn't always win or get his way he doesn't cry and pout or blame it on the refs! You see so much of this nowadays. We love to go watch the real little kids play any kind of sports as they give it their all and they are having FUN. That is the name of the game. Enjoy yourself and shake hands after the game and it doesn't matter who wins or loses. It is a learning experience for both sides. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
