At one point during a youth hockey game, the coach took one of his 10 year-old hockey players aside on the bench and asked:

“Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?”

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
“Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?”

The little boy nodded yes.
“I’m sure you know that when a penalty is called, you shouldn’t argue, curse, attack the referee, or call him an idiot.

“Do you understand all that?”

Again the little boy nodded.

The coach continued: “And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it’s not good sportsmanship to call your coach ‘a dumb moron’ is it?”

Again the little boy nodded.

“Good,” said the coach.

“Now, go over there and explain all that to your parents.”
