sweet,
So you would probably surmise that the consensus would be at a high level of travel soccer, that winning is everything?
always,
You are correcto, and I am gathering my meager thoughts on this subject and will post them soon.

Personally I don't like this line of thinking. Winning is everything? I mean if your kid has a hat trick but the team loses 4-3 that day for him/her wasn't a success? If you are only as good as your last game then this week you may be a "success" because your team won but next week you are not because your team lost? This may say corny/cheesey - but I look at where my kid was the first time he stepped on to as soccer field and where he is now and I think that even if he quit playing today the soccer part of his life was a "success" because of the progress he made and the goals he achieved.

Striker,
Your right, dosn't mean I agree, but at the highest level of club soccer, and I do mean highest, it's about winning. And really, whats wrong with that?

So at this high level of soccer, you are considered to be successful, only when you win the game?

Striker,
How will SC ODP' teams success be judged this weekend? In my opinion, in wins vs losses. Period. What do you think?

As teams they will be judged by wins and loses..This is the second tryout for the girls so their team may lose the game but the player makes the squad and that would be considered a success..Just because a team wins does not make every player on that team successful..I would consider Dan Marino a successful football player but he never won a championship.

Cold,
I agree about Marino, however that's the main topic when people discuss his career, he never won the big one. And I do think thats a shame.

sweet,
Since you are speaking about high level soccer, can you teach a kid on a high level soccer team how to lose or how to handle defeat?

You handle defeat by working harder/longer so next time you won't lose.
Either we're oversimplifying or it's that simple.
