My kids don’t need another coach yelling from the bleachers. I’m choosing to focus on their love of the game instead.

• I grew up running and enjoyed what I learned from excelling at a sport, even when I lost.
• Today, it seems that the main focus for the sports my kids participate in is winning.
• I’m shifting my focus to help my kids appreciate the love of the game, not just when they win.
