Losing can be Rough

There may come a time when when some kids see winning as the only reason for playing.  Are you concerned that your child doesn't know how to lose well?   NAYS.org shares an interview with licensed psychologist, Dr. Jason Youngman on how to help young athletes cope with losing.  If you can relate to these questions you should read what Dr. Youngman has to say:

• How can losing at sports actually help young athletes become better?
• How should parents and coaches of young athletes handle their kids losing?
• Is there anything a coach can do to stop the downward losing spiral before it gets out of control?
• How can a coach motivate a player that hates to lose who is on a losing team?
• Should young athletes on a losing team focus on making themselves a better player, or helping their team win?
• Should parents remove their child from a losing team?
