Interesting comments.
I coached an under 13 team some years ago and we were playing up in an under 14 tournament. We got to the final and lost 2.1
I had my son and another young lad in the car and I could see their faces in the rear vision mirror-unhappy and wondering if I was going to blast them. I said, únlucky guys, they were too big and strong but I'm very proud of you.' The beaming faces were enough for me and something I have never forgotten.
So very GOOD!! :)
