At one point during a hockey game, the coach pulled aside one of his 7-year-old players and got down to business.
“Alright, champ,” the coach began, “do you know what cooperation means? Like, do you understand this whole ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ thing?”
The kid gave an enthusiastic nod, looking like he was ready to accept a Nobel Prize for wisdom.
“Great!” said the coach. “And you get that winning isn’t everything, right? It’s about playing together, having fun, and not turning into a bunch of angry penguins out there.”
Another eager nod from the little philosopher on skates.
“Okay, so when the ref calls a penalty,” the coach went on, “you’re NOT supposed to throw a tantrum, scream like a banshee, or shout creative insults at him—like calling him a ‘refrigerator head’ or something equally ridiculous.”
The boy nodded again, clearly soaking up all this life-changing advice.
“Also,” the coach added, leaning in dramatically, “when I bench you so someone else can play, it’s probably not cool to call me a ‘glazed donut’ under your breath. Got it?”
Nod number three. This kid was nailing the art of silent agreement.
“Perfect!” said the coach, patting him on the shoulder. “Now go explain all this to your mom because she’s currently yelling at the ref, calling ME names, and threatening to chuck her coffee cup onto the ice.”
