I am so glad the children's sports teams stress this simple concept of sharing "good game." It was a joy to see lots of good sportsmanship in the Olympics. Yet, didn't one guy lose his bronze for tossing it? I guess his little league coach did not teach him the basics.
A couple of years ago we visited New York and on a Saturday we took a ferry to Statten island and then got a cab to a shopping mall, along the way there were loads of little kids all togged up and playing their 'sport'!! Very American
Wow, I was so focused on how much taller (head & shoulders) the middle kid in the pic was over all the others, I totally missed what the coach was teaching them. Guess I was having flashbacks to my own youth, as I was the one always so much taller than the other kids. ;)
