Sports Parenting Tip of the Week  (2-14-11)

   Property of Billy Shepherd Sports Inc.

     Winning games and championships are fun for kids of all ages.  But we all know it's more than the wins and losses.

     How would your child react if you told him/her that the journey and sacrifice along the way was just as important as a championship?  Don't be afraid to do so!

     There's no doubt that winning is important.  That's why we keep score.  However, encouraging your child to learn from the journey, win or lose, is teaching a life lesson that will never go away.
