WIN OR LOSE, IT’S ABOUT KEEPING THE FAITH

~:: Stix and Pux ::~

Do you care if your kids win or lose? I do. Yep, there’s no denying it. I want us to win.

OK, what I really want is for the boys to try their hardest. I want them to take lessons and go to practice and listen to their coaches and soak up all the plays they can. I want them to skate their little butts off and feel good about their effort, to learn the life lesson that with sweat comes the reward of improvement. And then I want all that hard work to pay off.
