Competition’s healthy

We live in a competitive environment whether it is at play or at work. People need to know how to cope with disappointment gracefully and in a measured manner. How often have you heard the expression ‘he is a bad loser’? Censoring the scores of junior football team matches to protect the players from the possible embarrassment of defeat is a defeatist attitude and will do nothing to prepare them for the reality of life. Defeat can make you stronger not weaker.
