I hate the "everyone gets a trophy mentality". Eventually, somewhere in life a person will have to learn to accept defeat and failure.

 

To many people want to take away life lessons, valuable life lessons, that youth sports can teach. I really can not stand the everyone gets a trophy mentality. Give it to the MVP, or don't give them at all. That is life.

Teaching this to some of my boys this year, they started out strong winning their first 4 games. In the second half of the season we lost some players and dropped 3 of our last 4 I keep telling them football is about life, you have to learn how to win and how to lose.
