At one point during a game, the coach said to one of
his young players, "Do you understand what cooperation
is? What a team is?" The little boy nodded yes.

"Do you understand that what matters is whether we
win together as a team?" The little boy nodded yes.

"So," the coach continued, "when a strike is called, or
you are out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack
the umpire. Do you understand all that?" Again, the
boy nodded yes.

"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain
it to your mother."
