What values shoild we teach practising sport?

On Suday, my son was in a fence national national fencing competition. The most surprising thing was the Madrid coach's behaviour. He stopped a competition because he thougtht it couldn't be possible that his fencer was losing. Not happy with that, he was continually complaining to the referee. Whatsmore What's more, he was putting preassure in on his fencers, annoying them, After the competition, instead of congratulateing them, he was telling them off for their mistakes.
I am sure that this is not the behaviour that I want my son to learn, I'd (rather) prefer our coach's behaviour that of congaratulateding our fencers even though they hadn't won a trophy [alternatively: "even though they did not have any trophies"]. As Like him, I believe you can learn many things of from your mistakes.

Interesting story!

You are absolutely right Lidia!  Coaches should not only be teaching their players skills for their sport but also demonstrating what good sportsmanship is.  They should be the role model setting the example for their players to follow.  Keep up your good work!
