sometimes it's not all about winning, the under 18 team I manage played earlier this week, and though they were brilliant, they still lost by a point, the strange thing was I did not feel at all bad about it, in fact i was very pleased with the performance, the skills they showed and the effort they put in.
Yes we made mistakes, and we'll make them the next time too, but we are looking for a reduction, not perfection.
And it was nice to know for once that winning is not everything.
