Join The Westford
Parent Connection For Beyond Winning
Children can learn valuable life lessons from organized
sports. Playing on a team encourages physical fitness, skill development,
sportsmanship, and teamwork. As parents and coaches, we know the positives. But
we can’t ignore the dark side: the pressure, the bullying, the elitism, and the
lack of playfulness. We’re hyper-focused on winning, at all costs, and that
mindset can destroy even the most enthusiastic athlete.
