Smile Awhile and Laugh a Little Every Day.

At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young players “ Do you understand what co-operation is? What a team is?”. The little boy nodded in affirmative.

“Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?”.

Again the little boy nodded yes.

“So” the coach continued, “ when a free is called, or you’re booked, you don’t argue or curse or attack the referee. Do you understand all that?”

Again the little boy nodded.

“Good” said the coach, “now go over there and explain all that to your mother.”
