May be a bit extreme for 6-7 year old girls, but not 16-17 year old girls. Our society is way too soft and accommodating. Kids need consequences. I wish I would have had more looking back. Can't make things too easy. byronr - I don't mind praising kids, but sometimes we go too far. I've heard parents say "good job, you played hard" when in all honesty the team showed up hung over, sloppy play, late to team meetings, uniforms not matching, etc. I know cause I was on a team like that. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's the truth. The sad thing is we had parents that thought we had "given our all" when in truth we'd pulled an all night bender and participated in a general debauchery that would make Bluto blush. All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

That funny, but fake article has been making the rounds in local papers for years. "Duh,WINNING."
