Hey, nice hub there.

I agree with you for the most part but I also think that winning does matter. These days, many schools are teaching the politically-correct "winning doesn't matter". This does nothing to prepare kids for the realities of the modern world which are "winning DOES matter".

I think if you coach a team that winning does matter then they will gain incredible confidence in their play and for the rest of their life. Of course, when you do lose, it's important to have the excellent coaching skills to recover without blaming the team.

i.e. when you win - the team takes credit

when you lose - you take the blame
