How not to get your head bashed in...

Ok, um, "winning" is sort of the process of accumulating more points than your opponent in some sort of contest. In basketball, points are awarded (most often) for putting the ball through a metal ring. Whichever team is awarded the most points by the end of the normal playing time is declared the "winner".

This is, of course, slightly different in golf, where the players are trying to accumulate fewer points (strokes) than their opponents. That is, of course, unless they're using the Stableford scoring system.

Does anyone else find it, uh well, ironic that a BoSox fan is trying to explain "winning"? Seems to me that that's kinda like an anteater trying to explain quantum physics. [/B][/QUOTE]

Well, they are almost as good as the Tigers.

What exactly is your agenda here?
I never had to ask.

Mick, I think the "xxxxxxx" comment was directed at my post, not yours. I ended my wildly entertaining comments by asking "Does that help?"

wizard, was subtly telling me that my comments did not address his main concern. I don't think that particular comment was meant as a judgment on you.

More like a priest giving marriage counceling. I know what it is, just never experienced it.

[/B][/QUOTE]Geeze, Mick, give 'em a break. I honestly think that the Tigers are finally on the right track. They seem to have a plan now, at least. Couldn't say that the last coupla years.

Here's one for your buddy, Mark. Can you picture Dr. Ruth in a thong and fishnets? I just did. And I went blind.

Something is "underrated" when most people do not recognize its true value. For example, a cold Diet Coke after a game is underrated by Dan. He thinks beer is better, if you can believe that.

Chuck, we need to get you some counseling for this one.

I kinda had a head start.

UC Irvine has excellent engineering, physics & material science departments.

They also call themselves the Anteaters.

First, I'm betting on the anteater, not the Bosox fan.

Second, I think that the "winning doesn't matter" school of thought is missing something, but in youth sports, the "winning is the only thing" school is also missing something. Balance is truly the key. But lets not pretend that kids don't know or car about the score.

We had a youth soccer league where we didn't keep official scores. We had about 10 players a team and ran the games 4v4 on two fields side by side, to give more playing time and touches. The result was that players would switch between the two fields based on who was wanting to come out, who was ready to go in, etc. Didn't matter. Kids knew the score on both fields, and yes, they cared.

Where you can go wrong is if you use short-term strategies to win that hinder long-term player development. If you develop players properly, you will win, but it will take a little mor etime sometimes. Over time, you and your players will be more successful. It doesn't have to be a choice between wins and development.
