at the end of the day winning is always nice but with everything there is bound to be a loser. I have been lucky with everything i have took part in Band, Football, Running, Netball and Sailing, i have always made it into a social occasion when the taking part is what matters. I am not the best at these things but my teacher once described me as a "turner Upper" someone who always turned up and therefore should get a chance to play.
I hate the parent whop really push there kids and its not fair luickily my parents have always told me that its only your best that matters. It was only last week we were in AMsterdam on tour with the Ladies football team at uni, we made sure everyone who was up to it got a match i.e all those not being sick or on crutches and at the end of the day our team spirit got us to the final, we didnt win but we had an amazing day.
I also remember last year at a sailing event it was a 12 hour race for charity and my mam had gone to have a kip and i took charge, i split up the time into even slots and made sure everyone who was there managed to get a sail, afterall they had turned up and were stood in the rain like the rest of us. However, my list meant we would have to change the sailoprs alot resulting in us losing time, i had so many people shout at me saying that the mentality should be winning and it really ruined the day for me as i got so upset.
